Another book I've just enjoyed is a classic written in the 1930s by a woman I'd never heard of. 'The Enchanted April' by Elizabeth von Arnim. Of course now it reads as a delightful historical so there are two layers of enjoyment: the wry chuckles at what was proper and correct in the 1930s (the way the characters speak and behave) and the author's skill. She has Jane Austen's wit and a deft way with words
Enjoy a peaceful month with at least one of these books!

Pratchett gets better and better. Here he is again pointing out humanity's stupidities: racial prejudice,snobbish beliefs in superiority, why the rule of just law is important and why violence breeds violence, yet all done with humour.
