So your book should get off to a 'flying start'... sorry coudn't resist that! But they sounded really sensitive and innovative. So you've found a good home for a lovely creative idea. <br /><br />Dianne Hofmeyrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18222157214605257030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7780182174577095197.post-26836264478504116232014-06-03T16:10:10.761+01:002014-06-03T16:10:10.761+01:00Must admit I don't have very fond memories of ...Must admit I don't have very fond memories of the Wishing Chair books - having been forced to read them aloud over and over, which I suppose only goes to show how strongly they appeal to children, despite some of Blyton's clunkiest prose.<br /><br />I love the idea of magical everyday objects, though - and indeed the other books you mention. A flying bedroom sounds a wonderful and intriguing idea - especially with non-clunky prose thrown in! Will be looking out for your book.
