Unhurried Wonder Club
Gather at the bookstore for grown up storytime! We’re taking the homework out of bookclub, and encouraging you to sit awhile, unhurried. Your membership in this bookclub means that you’ll join us each Thursday evening throughout the month of February, 2025, with your favorite colored pencils or markers, to color pages in your brand new Elyse Burns coloring book and listen to the 1905 classic novel by Frances Hodgson Burnett. A Little Princess is a story perfect for any listener, and this book club is suited for any listener aged 15-115.
Your registration in the Unhurried Wonder Club gives you two hours of a read aloud for grownups each week in February, a new coloring book, and a beautiful edition of A Little Princess by Frances Hodgson Burnett.
“A Little Princess is the story of a little girl with a great big imagination. Separated from her father, and the open-hearted Africans who have helped him raise her, young Sara Crewe is sent to boarding school in London. When things go badly for her there, her imaginative powers come to the rescue – helping to transform a drab institution into a place of magic and mystery. As the girl wins the affection of the other boarders she draws the ire of Miss Minchin, the dour headmistress. Sara is made a servant to the institution when her father is reported dead, and his fortune seized. Sara counters all Miss Minchin’s best efforts to degrade her with the grace and virtue of a little princess.” -synopsis of A Little Princess musical by Andrew Lippa
