September 27 – October 3, 2020, is Banned Books Week, an annual awareness campaign promoted by the American Library Association and Amnesty International, that celebrates the freedom to read, draws attention to banned and challenged books, and highlights persecuted individuals.
I particularly enjoyed reading about Goodwin’s childhood during the Depression which catapulted him to the other side of the world as a young man to fly in the skies over Germany.
Based on the true story of Grace Darling, and featuring the flavour of the month Mary Anning, I consumed this in a single sitting. An easy and enjoyable read that made me want to go to the beach to collect shells.

I went through a phases in HS where I read previously banned books – Sister Carrie was my favorite.

Amazing how acceptable or unacceptable is viewed as times change. I remember “lady chatterley’s lover” being furtively passed around in the school yard, many years ago.

Yes, that one was only spoken of in whispers, wasn’t it? I’de love to ban all these 900 page autobiographies by our ex Prime Ministers. Don’t care which party : ALL of them are full of rubbish!
