Meeting of 8 February 2013

There is a change of format this year, and the Saturday morning meeting was a refreshing change.

At the Auckland Public Library we went along to

 

followed by coffee at the Art Gallery.

Here we discussed the following books.

The 13 clocks by James Thurber

James Thurber's sublimely revamped fairy tale, in which a wicked Duke who imagines he has killed time, and the Duke's beautiful niece, for whom time seems to have run out, both meet their match, courtesy of an enterprising and very handsome prince in disguise.








The Wonderful O by James Thurber 
Confusion reigns on the island of Ooroo when the letter O is banished.










The Magic Pudding by Norman Lindsay
The adventures of those splendid fellows Bunyip Bluegum, Bill Barnacle and Sam Sawnoff, the penguin bold, and of course their amazing, everlasting and very cantankerous Puddin'. 

Meeting of 22 January 2014

Summer reading....  The task for the summer was to read Alice in Wonderland.  And to discuss this, we met at Kat (and Digby's) home.  Many edition of the book, with lots of various comments about different characters and the plot.
