STAFF PICKS

We enjoyed putting this issue of the magazine together for your reading pleasure. Here are some of our favorites.

①     "Dodie's Darling Dalmatians"

Like many of us, I grew up loving the Disney film 101 Dalmatians, but knew little about the book and its relationship with the film. And I even knew less about the story behind it. It was exciting to get a close look at the life of the writer Dodie Smith and her own beloved Dalmatians who provided the idea for his heartwarming story.

Zoe, Managing Editor

②     "My Adventures With A Paint Brush"

It describes how taking up painting enriched Winston Churchill's life. The focus of the painting was clearer and he was more aware of colors and details in natural scenery he had ignored before. His story opened my eyes to the wonders of nature, and the different color caused by light and shade that we are too busy to see.

Diane, Senior Editor

③     "Laughter Is The Best Medicine"

The humor pages show that a good joke can often greatly show the background of its time. It has as much power today to make us smile as it did when it first appeared.

Melanie, Chief Editor

④     "The Great Balloon Escape”

I love a good Cold War escape story, so naturally I was drawn to “The Great Balloon Escape", which describes in frightening detail how two East German families made a crazy plan to make their own hot air balloon and fly to freedom.

Diane, Senior Editor

Reader A
