Author Houses I Want to Visit

 

Last week I shared author houses I've visited and today I'm sharing ones I'd like to visit:

JRR Tolkien

LM Montgomery - this was on yesterday's list because I went as a teenager. But I'd like to go again.

Anne Frank

Robert Frost - his Vermont House

The Bronte Sisters

Agatha Christie 

Beatrix Potter 

What houses am I missing? What house would you like to visit?

Picture Book Review: A Mind of Her Own

 

Agatha Christie, the world-famous mystery writer, didn't always like writing. But she always liked mysteries and she always made-up stories. She struggled getting those ideas on paper. Years later, she tries her hand at writing a mystery novel. It's not easy but she persists. 

This picture book biography is great for older elementary school readers - but I wonder if any of them have ever heard of Agatha Christie. I really enjoyed this book. I didn't know much about this author here. The illustrations are lovely. This would be a good picture book to share about creating mystery stories.
