National Library Week (November 14-20)

Being a Librarian I felt I should write something related to books. Incidentally this is also Michael Morpurgo month celebrated in UK.  Recent book that I read by Michael Morpurgo is “Private Peaceful”. I recollected the books that I read and I felt it’s worth writing about the books of author.


My interest in Mopurgo started after watching the movie “War Horse” (a brilliant work to me as it portrayed the agony of animal so well on par with writing). All his books somewhere or the other deal with war linked to the subject. Animals and human relationship and the war in the background seem to me the subject in the books that I read. The way author puts to them together really amazing I am reminded of   “Kitabein” poem by Safdar Hashmi which deals with the wonderful world of books. I am truly blessed for choosing the profession that makes me enjoy the world of books.
