My Nostalgic Thing

 

 

So my Nostalgic Thing this week was re-discovering my Disney storybook I have had since I was a child. It was my Mums before it became mine and the red cover is splotched with stains...as you can probably see. I forgot I even had it until I rifled through a pile of books at the bottom of my shelf. It has large writing and beautiful coloured illustrations. My favourite tale was Toads and Diamonds as I was like a magpie and obsessed with shiny things and jewels when I was younger! The magical tale tells of a kind-hearted girl who is blessed with having jewels fall out from her mouth every time she speaks; although I'm not sure if I would call that a blessing.
The book took me back a few years and I wanted to read it for some inspiration for my 'writing for young people' fiction week at uni.
