Seven years ago today, I was hosting a remembrance event & had a crazy idea to work alongside the Victoria Tunnels & have an author read a section of their war related book 55 feet underground. Who would be mad enough to help me? It was always the legend that is @dansmithauthor.bsky.social

Oh yes! Lose all her personality, liveliness, fun & fashion sense and become a Librarian!

Love finding fellow Ray Harryhausen fans 🥰
Watching #RayHarryhausen films as a kid on tv, I became completely dedicated to finding out what the Harpies' faces looked like, to the point of pressing my face up against the screen, at which point the picture just broke up into dots. Classic Monster Kid behaviour. www.youtube.com/watch?v=2vxM...

Educating our children today on the decisions and consequences of the past is the best way ensure all those who suffered are not forgotten. We can then hope this leads to a better tomorrow.
Here are some favourite books which I feel give a rounded view on WW2.

Kid (who normally only reads sport): Have you got any books on Greek Mythology?
Me: yes of course, what's started the sudden fascination on Greek myths?
Kid: I watched this amazing film called 'Jason and the Argonauts'. There was a HUGE bronze statue & it came to life!

Monster worlds collide in a classic clash of the titans. Wonderfully shot with style in spades and a terrific cast. Not perfect perhaps, but it kind of is. 1943.
