These are the words that have inspired me today.
"Because it was such a very small class, they had a very small classroom, which was perched right at the top of the school. Up four flights of stairs, way up in the sky, like a colony of little birds nesting on a cliff, blown about by wind with the high, airy sounds of the city coming up the hill in the ocean breeze."

Beautiful, eh?
Thanks Sue. Now I know what to get Ursula to talk about at our festival. She's a very hard writer to pigeonhole but she creates such beautiful imagery.
ReplyDeleteShe certainly does. Great that Ursula will be at the festival!
