In which the BFG, a medium sized Big Friendly Giant who collects dreams and blows them into the rooms of sleeping children every night, kidnaps the orphan Sophie, and the two of them enlist the Queen of England’s help to capture nine huge, terrible giants who have been nightly eating “human beans” from every country of the world. A childhood favorite, now shared with my 5-year-old son. Viva la parenthood.
Previous Book: 42. The book of the Dun Cow. Next Book: 44. Responsibility for devalued persons: ethical interactions between society, the family and the retarded.

I’m worth $1MM in prizes. I am without excuse.
I’ve redesigned this thing a mere two times. This is its third iteration. It’s using WordPress, for the first time. This theme was adapted from the standard, Kubrick. Border elements prefacing the ‘comments’ were graciously provided by Barrett Stanley, from his 100 Erased Lincolns.
Try joshua, here at neds-fox.com, via electronic mail, should you want to get in touch with me.
I hope you’re happy.
