Introduction to Characters and This Week's Books

Elizabeth is 14, loaded with common sense and is practical, Emily is 12, almost 13, emotional and very, very smart and Emma is 11, down-to-earth and finds humour in the oddest of situations.

Books being read right now: the Bible, for its allusions not its morals, Gulliver's Travels and Don Quixote because Emily keeps switching between the two, and Dante's Inferno...Emma has just got up the mountain to the meeting with Virgil. She keeps going online to find the most interesting pictures to the story. They are following the lists of Great Books suggested by Jessie Wise and Susan Wise Bauer; unfortunately, they are using my books which are unabridged but owned. My university career resulted in, if nothing else, a substantial library.
