More books for those months when the world is coming back to life...

As the frost melts in Milton, head out for a long, bracing walk with North and South’s Margaret Hale. Put a rabbit pie in the oven with The Children who Lived in a Barn. Journey across the Atlantic from Scandinavia with The Emigrants, and start to build a life in the new world. Hike up the mountains with Heidi and her grandfather, and keep warm with some fresh goats’ milk and melted cheese on toast. Have a biscuit break with Juliet as she works on pages and pages of Transcription. Spend some time among the shelves with the Convenience Store Woman. Lust after Johnnie Ray with Penelope and Charlotte, and discover The Lost Art of Keeping Secrets. Track the culinary journey of The Very Hungry Caterpillar, from apples, through pizza, to some nice green leaves. Head to Paris and climb up through the attic windows to enjoy a picnic with the Rooftoppers. Spare a thought for The Little Prince as he carefully protects a single rose. Join Fern on a saunter around Zuckerberg’s farm, and stop by the pigsty to read the words written into Charlotte’s Web.
