Explore those worlds!

Good Greetings!
I just got back from Narnia and am, like always, totally absorbed in pondering the story. Without exception, whenever I watch a movie or finish reading a book, I can't think about anything else for at least a day!

I find it fascinating that we can escape for a time into another world, and think along with the characters we are reading about. Our minds seem to collaborate and work together, never stopping-or wanting to stop-until it is over. Have you ever thought about how many different worlds we can enter? Way to numerous to count, but lets take a sampling of the ones I like best. (Of course, my favorites list is limited because I'm still young, but that's ok. It gives me time to read in the future!)

The world of...
Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy in The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe
Henry, Jesse, Violet and Benny in The Boxcar Children
Frank and Joe Hardy in the Hardy Boys
Anne Shirley in Anne of Green Gables and the wonderful sequels
Meg, Jo, Beth and Amy in Little Women
Hannah Worth and all the others in Ishmael & Self-Raised (Lamplighter Publishing)
Kitty in The Witch of Blackbird Pond
Robin Hood
Peter Cottontail in the Thornton Burgess books
Harriet in Harriet the Spy
Phileas Fogg in Around the World in Eighty Days (I love this book!)
Jem and Scout Finch in To Kill a Mockingbird
Jethro Creighton in Across Five Aprils
...and many more including the real worlds of GA Henty, Genevive Foster and Joy Hakim.

So many worlds to enter, it's overwhelming!
Where do we begin?
Anywhere you want to.
Is there time to explore every one?
No, but there's time for alot of them. It's a lifetime adventure.
Three cheers for reading!
Hurrah! Hurrah! Hurrah!
