The Happy Prince and Other Stories

I think you decided that The Happy Prince and Other Stories by Oscar Wilde will be our next book. Here is a link where you will find it:

  Would you like to listen to the story? Here is a link where the story is told, not read, by Sister Unity:

Coffee, tiramisu and some good talk.

I´ve heard you had a fantastic time last Thursday.

Jessica told me that you enjoyed very much the talking, the coffee and the dessert. By the way, we must thank Vidal for being such a love (he is the one who cooked tiramisu for you all) . Jessica told me you complained about the difficult words you found in Sapsorrow. I must say it was not my intention to give you a difficult reading, but I am glad you realized that fairy tales can also be used to teach adult learners. They have the structure of a short novel, with plot, setting and characters. And they use “real”, not adapted, language.

Hello fellow readers!!

I just wanted to drop by the blog and say a big "thanks!" to all of you for the last meeting.  I was really nervous to run the book club on by own without Gabriela, but in the end it all went perfectly.  Thanks for all your participation and for "talking my ear off", and I am looking forward to see all of you again next month.  Enjoy The Happy Prince!

Cheers,
Jessica
