Book Beginnings
What is the first line of your current read, and how did you like it?
I love folk stories about food!
"From the earliest days of stories, when hunters came home from the hunt to tell of their exploits around the campfire while gnawing on a leg of beast, to the era of kings in castles listening to the storyteller at the royal dinner feast, to the time of TV dinners when whole families gathered to eat and watch movies together, stories and eating have been close companions."
The Friday 56
Turn to page 56. Find any sentence or two that grabs you.
"A picnic is any kind of outdoor party or feast, and once upon a time it meant a party to which every person brought some dish for all to share."Tales retold: Jane Yolen
Recipes: Heidi E.Y. Stemple
Illustrations: Philippe Beha

I love the cover, it reminds me a little of Fractured Fairy Tales. This sounds like a fun book.
ReplyDeleteI've got several books on the go. the one I just finished, An Irish Country Christmas, starts "Barry Laverty - Doctor Barry Laverty - slammed the door of Brunhilde, his elderly Volkswagen Beetle" I enjoyed it!
ReplyDeleteI've noticed that you have so many blogs. I don't know how people keep up to more than one or two ;-) Thanks for stopping by mine for Skywatch Friday.
