Okay, so I said yesterday’s instalment was the last in this series of soundtracks from 1980s children’s films, but I couldn’t leave you hanging on New Year’s Day now, could I? A classic soundtrack from an enduring comedy.

Here’s wishing you a wonderful New Year, full of imaginative, educational and funny reading experiences, just like these people:

I started reading this book on Christmas Day evening and finished it on Boxing Day night.

It is is a beautifully crafted tale which slides along effortlessly and magically, weaving together the sharp and bitter flavours of reality and childhood memory with the sweet and intricate tastes of a fairy tale world whose seams are stretched and ready to burst; barely containing (and at times letting slip a sliver of) the infinite void of mystical wonder beyond.
