Atian is shedding some lights on our Books...

Don't you like to curl up and read a good book or hear someone tell a story?  As the Historian for the Village on the Wall, I enjoy both.  Books are a wonderful way to live an adventure without ever having to leave the comforts of your chair.

A good book can be enlightening by providing entertainment and knowledge, but you would never believe the surprise I got the other day looking in the MisPlace Dolls library while I was trying to find something new to read. 

Their library is always an adventure because they don't believe in having just one classification of books.  I didn't even know that Outies (people who live outside of the Realms) kept encyclopedias anymore!!!  

I even found out that they have a mechanical device that stores thousands of books on it and it weighs less than a henway (What's a henway you ask?  Once you catch one and if it doesn't peck you to get away - you will know when you pick it up - old joke I found in one of their books - I still don't get it)...

Anyway, to get back to what I was saying about books being enlightening.  I got a surprise the last time I was in their library.  A shelf of books that I did not recognize the titles for caught my eye and I took them to a favorite little reading spot that they have all set-up for me (I am a frequent guest).  You would never believe the surprise I got when I opened the first one... (enlightening indeed!).

I had to admit... they got me and I then just had to open some more to see what was inside.

Each book had something different and when you pressed a switch on the side, they would light up (wished I had some of those little lights in my cottage...).

This one really caught my eye.  It took a minute to find the mouse (can you see it?).  It helped when I turned the light on... 

It was at this time the Outies here at MisPlace Dolls showed up and I decided it was time to go...  as I was leaving, I realized that I had not opened the last book that I had taken out and it was still in my reading spot.  I wonder what was in it?  I guess I will just have to check soon in the PeddlersCache to see...  maybe it will look good on my shelf in the cottage.
