began early

I used to smuggle roadkill into the house despite my mother's preference for flowers.

    Himalayan Kidnap

    I read this book in one sitting finding it impossible to put it down.
    This adventure story is set in Nepal with two boys as the main characters though there is also a no nonsense female character for whom the boys have great respect.. It is pacy and full of unforced information about the flora, fauna and culture in Nepal. As with James Bond the boys get into impossible situations and like him (thus far) they manage with ingenuity, luck and humour to extricate themselves.
    Were I not retired from my position as a school librarian this book would be be heading for the library shelves. As it is, the grandchildren will benefit.

    Sometimes perhaps a short life and a happy one is better than anything we doctors have to offer.
