I like that but I can see how some might not.The Armchair Squidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13509001761075530940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8586403344533829376.post-85002080922766182942020-07-15T04:50:54.527-04:002020-07-15T04:50:54.527-04:00My children grew up with these books and films, so...My children grew up with these books and films, so they represent comfort to them, in spite of the author's foray into ignorance. A lot of the art I am drawn to is from problematic sources - Miles is one of them. Luckily we do not have to adopt the behaviour of any artist we admire.

Right now I'm focused on other things. My husband loved the first three books and has chosen not to turn away from them despite all that has happened lately.Toi Thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07493934864387695248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8586403344533829376.post-49398966430688564512020-07-14T13:07:26.369-04:002020-07-14T13:07:26.369-04:00I've read the first few books multiple times a...I've read the first few books multiple times and read a few to my kids.
