A Little Princess Stage 1 Oxford Bookworm Pdf

when it comes to books, i can’t help but smile a little. i remember the first time i met an author. it was at a college that i had been invited to speak at in the late 1980s. the school had a tradition of reading aloud to the english department. i was nervous, so after the talk i found a quiet corner in the hall. i sat on a bench and began to read. when i finished, a hand landed on my shoulder. “that was really good,” a voice said, and a man walked up and introduced himself as a professor of english. “i like your book,” he said. that was all. i was fairly surprised. then he left. i just sat there on the bench wondering what on earth was going on. a book had made a professor of literature think enough of my book to want to talk to me about it. and it was a good book, too! and he liked it! i felt a little faint. but it went on from there. i met other professors who had read my book, and bookstores were kind enough to have it on the shelves.
