Michael Morpurgo: A Elephant in the garden.
Yesterday I was fascinated by a pest controller telling me about cockroaches and their two brains. I do think Dr Who should maximise upon this enthralling fact! Today, I picked up Michael Morpurgo’s latest paperback, An Elephant in the Garden and decided to read it as a diversion from my latest Kate Atkinson obsession…and it makes Atkinson last longer of course !
How do you escape the Dresden bombing, a world at war and save an elephant too?
And if ever reality more gripping than fiction, then the combination of an elephant, a garden AND the second world war must rank as a platinum tale.

The Abortion: An Historical Romance 1966 is a novel by Richard Brautigan first published in 197.
The Abortion is a genre novel parody concerning the librarian of a very unusual California library which accepts books in any form and from anyone who wishes to drop one off at the library—children submit tales told in crayon about their toys; teenagers tell tales of angst and old people drop by with their memoirs—described as “the unwanted, the lyrical and haunted volumes of American writing”.
