A thought.

I just realised that Eleven's story arc loosely follows my favourite Kipling short story:

The Miracle of Purun Bhagat


This makes me so pleased/grateful I'm not sure what to do with myself. Of course I could just be projecting wildly - when I say 'loosely follows' I mean in the same way that 'A Christmas Carol' follows the Dickens' original. Although considering that this one is not deliberate, I am allowed even more leeway, right?

(At the same time I am trying to come to terms with the fact that he's really gone. It's beginning to sink in now, and I don't like it. 'Come back...' /Amy voice)

Oddly enough, I just re-read that story last week.

It is one of those I re-read on a regular basis. Almost as often as Kim...

Not sure why I thought of it today, but I'm glad someone else knows it! <3

The Jungle Books were my absolute favorite books as a kid. (To the point that I still can't stand the Disney version to this day.) The Mowgli stories were the ones I imprinted on, but I have fond memories of the rest of them too. :)

ME TOO! (A pox on Disney! Double for what they did to Winnie the Pooh!)

Oh yes, Mowgli reigns supreme, but I sort of put him in his own category. <3 <3 <3

Not so much a 'find' as realising a childhood favourite fitted beautifully with a current love. <3
