“The boxes containing the PRESENTS were to be opened with great ceremony,

and there was to be a glittering feast spread in Miss Minchin’s sacred room.”

A Little Princess

As I read this quote, I couldn’t help but cringe a bit when I saw the words “GLITTERING feast.” Clearly, Frances didn’t know the agony of modern-day glitter. Once it arrives…it NEVER LEAVES.  I swear we still have glitter that shows its sparkly reflection on our floors from our daughter’s birthday party 5 years ago.

I only know of ONE other thing that has the same staying power as glitter…and that is a good book. Toys will break, clothes will wear out, but words will stay with you forever.

“A book is a gift you can open again and again.” -Garrison Keillor
