I have the book on my shelf right now.

*looks up*

yep.

What were those three farmers called. Boggit, Bunce and something else I think. Quality.

I'm a leader in the field of stop motion animation.

No honestly.

Ah, now I get it!

Cheers.

Should be pretty good stuff.

Oh yeah, that was brilliant. Also had a bit of real filming in too.

I just liked the memories which Quentin Blake's illustrations induced. I don't want them to be lost, that's all.It should all be good, but it's saddening that Hollywood is constantly referring to things like this to rely on a hit, rather than creatings something new.

Nobody's burning the book, don't be silly. Was one of my favourites when I was younger, and now it's being turned into a film that could reach a wider audience. What's so bad about that?

I clicked this hoping it was a post about you rediscovering the book. I feared that it was about a movie conversion. I pushed that aside, ready to discuss the genius of the book.

I want that moment before the click back.
