I brought back to the US my "Le Petit Prince" which I have read innumerous times. And then there were Enid Blyton's The Famous Five Series, The Twins at St. Claire's, and The Mallory Towers.<BR/>My mom used to give me 20 escudos every week so I could go to Europa America Bookstore and get a new book from the series. One year, I went to Portugal and brought all my books to the US (those people at the airport must have thought I was crazy...lol) Thank you thank you for reminding me of the Comtesse de Segur's stories!Isabelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02681951546653165197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3363366513572178690.post-9406261045227282712008-05-23T19:33:00.000-07:002008-05-23T19:33:00.000-07:00I adore your little foot stool.

LOVE IT. I actually just spent the last 20 minutes reading your entire blog. I am glad to have the time to catch up on it before you had too many entries. I loved it Isabel and especially your fantastic pics. Keep it coming!
