27. The Mini Stella Library by Marie-Louise Gay
This is my very favourite children's series. The adventures of Sam and Stella epitomize the innocence of a child. Marie-Louise Gay is a children's author and writes other stories about Stella and Sam such as Yuck, a Love Story
. In the Mini Stella Library, Stella teaches Sam all about the ocean, the sky, the forest and snow! These stories are really sweet and of course, Ella LOVES them! They retail in the US for $120.00 (why? I have NO IDEA- except maybe because they are awesome).
28. Babette's Feast: My favourite movie. Here is the synopsis...
In 19th century Denmark, two adult sisters live in an isolated village with their father, who is the honored pastor of a small Protestant church that is almost a sect unto itself. Although they each are presented with a real opportunity to leave the village, the sisters choose to stay with their father, to serve to him and their church. After some years, a French woman refugee, Babette, arrives at their door, begs them to take her in, and commits herself to work for them as maid/housekeeper/cook. Sometime after their father dies, the sisters decide to hold a dinner to commemorate the 100th anniversary of his birth. Babette experiences unexpected good fortune and implores the sisters to allow her to take charge of the preparation of the meal. Although they are secretly concerned about what Babette, a Catholic and a foreigner, might do, the sisters allow her to go ahead. Babette then prepares the feast of a lifetime for the members of the tiny church and an important gentleman related to one of them. Written by Ed Cannon
