A hardy group of 13, with several apologies registered, gathered at the Benalla Library for our August session. Once again the reading range was wide and interesting. Dorothy had borrowed a book from the Library that contained letters written by Queen Elizabeth to her Secretary over the last 20 years, these contained her thoughts about British Prime Ministers and members of the Royal family, good to take a peek inside the walls of Buckingham Palace. Another book of interest `The Price of Life’ was the account of Nigel Brennan who was kidnapped and held for ransom. Heather had read the history of John Gould (of bird fame) - it seems his wife was the artist who created the beautiful drawings. We have Gould books displayed in the library in a glass case. Peter Watts featured and also the Snow Flower and the Secret Fan by Lisa See was said to be a good read. Once again some books were swapped and lent and a pleasant couple of hours passed very quickly. See you all again in September.
