A novel idea

This is Sister 3's entry for Sticky Fingers' gallery.

This week's theme is: A novel idea.

A photograph which you think represents a favourite book or novel or even children's tale.

A classic, pulp fiction, a fairytale, a modern masterpiece.


The Princess and the Pea....

As a matter of fact I hate this particular tale: it reduces the worth of a woman to her inability to live without the most extreme luxuries.
Ok, so coming from someone who refuses to go camping this may not be a very fair comment...
Long story short: I felt like taking this picture.


Puss in Boots:

Don't you think he looks a little bit like the one in Shrek?

The Sue Grafton Alphabet Murders (as in D is for Deadbeat)

 

After careful consideration, my favourite writer has to be Jasper FForde, and his Thursday Next series (like The Well of Lost Plot).

Well, maybe I shouldn't say he's my favourite author, as I haven't managed to read him in English and have to make do with a translation. But his stories are definitely my favourite stories, because they're adventures that take place in actual novels and Jasper creates for us a whole universe, full of the lives of our literary heroes.

As I am still a child, I want to believe in the adventures of Thursday Next - a real woman, not like the Princess with the pea!

In the Well of Lost Plots we find out that somewhere in fiction land, there is a huge library, guarded by the Cheshire Cat (not Puss in Boots!) and that on the lowest level is the well of lost plots, where unread books fall. The characters of these books find themsleves unread, unknown, without a reason for living ...

So this is my last picture: the Well of Lost Plots.
These books are in a part of my library that has already been sorted under the category: 'I won't read them again so I'll get rid of them'

Those I manage to sell or give away won't fall in the well! Though believe me, some of them are very bad indeed...
