The Secret Of Moonacre

Thanks for the link shipy!!!!!!!!!!! :wink: :applaud:

Frances, it just looks like a classy,kind of even romantic place, sort of a place I'd like to hang out in for a while........language would pose a problem however. Ah well,see some of it at the movies!! In fact, Budapest is a classy and romantic sort of place (Prague, in the Czech Republic, is, too). I can recall that I could easily survive on my English and German, though I have to admit that I feel better at ease in places where I understand signs and ads on the streets and shops and where I understand what it is said on TV when I switch it on.

I love all of Europe!!!!!!!! What a fantastic place it is. Hopefuloly one day I will travel all around it!

Yes, Silvia, I can see you, Cris, and Little One on bicycles now...............complete with helmets, backpacks, compass,and big smiles on your faces!!!-------------------------HEY!!! I just turned into a COLONEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Saluuuuuuuuute!

Did you all see that IMDB lists Ioan as playing Sir Benjamin, owner of Moonacre Manor? If this is accurate, it could mean a lot of screentime. :woohoo

I knew it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yep, the role will fit Mr. I! If they follow the book, and I know that could be a BIIIIIIIIG "if", Ioan will be on screen quite a lot. (IhopeIhopeIhopeIhope!) Oooooh, there could be worse things than that by far,right?---------------Maybe this would be a good time to start the LITTLE WHITE HORSE thread-----------hmmm? Also hope that some of you would like to read the book. It's kinda different, and think you might find it enjoyable.

Thanks Shippy. I'm so glad you've read the book. I wouldn't have had any idea if that was a good role or not, if not for your inside information. Hope I can discuss more with you soon.

Ok Shipmate, I picked up the book today, so let's get started discussing. We probably should start a separater thread to avoid spoiler problems. You can either do it or I'll start it when I get back from the movies. I'm going to go see American Gangster since it's my day off after working the last eight days. Whoopee!

I'll go ahead and give the new thread a shot.........

Yes, Silvia, I can see you, Cris, and Little One on bicycles now...............complete with helmets, backpacks, compass,and big smiles on your faces!!!-------------------------HEY!!! I just turned into a COLONEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Saluuuuuuuuute! Congrats on your promotion shippy!!!!!!!! I still don´t know what the book is about, but I hope it means a lot of screen time for the boyo, and a great step on his career.

If they stick to the action of the book, then Ioan should be in it quite a bit.

If they stick to the action of the book, then Ioan should be in it quite a bit. If the information on IMDB is accurate, then it is very good news indeed! I've never read the book - must get a copy.

Hope you do,Red Admiral,..... I believe you'll find it entertaining at the very least.

I must say I enjoyed reading the book. It was the type of book I would have loved as a child and still found entertaining as an adult. The description of locations and characters in the book are extremely well done. Very easy to visualize in your mind's eye.

........And something I noticed about the ending of the story.....(No, I won't reveal it!),......the reader is left with a decision(s) to make. Hmmm, if this sounds at all mysterious to you, then you're in for a good read! (After that maybe,slip it over to an unsuspecting kid.)
