"Believe in the magic that a friendship with animals can bring", Sep 19 2010
By Mia Clair - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Elizabeth Taylor's Nibbles and Me (Hardcover)
In this book "Nibbles and Me", thirteen-year-old Elizabeth Taylor writes about her love for Nibbles, her pet chipmunk. She describes how Nibbles came into her life, and then goes on to describe various situations that involve her tiny companion. He gets into lots of trouble, but Elizabeth and her Mummie are always there to save the day! In addition to writing this book, young Elizabeth did the illustrations as well, and there are several black-and-white photos of Elizabeth and Nibbles throughout.
Finding this book was such a great surprise for me, as I had no idea that it even existed. The back flap of the book states that it was originally published in 1946, and this re-issue was published in 2002. There is an introduction dated October 2002 by Elizabeth Taylor in which, when asked about reprinting this book, she states, "Well, I thought about it and decided that it couldn't do anybody any harm...What it has are the growing-up observations of a thirteen-year-old girl, perhaps leaving childhood behind, but never forsaking her love of animals and the countryside." Elizabeth's love for animals absolutely shines through in this charming little book. The book is recommended for children ages 9-12, but I think adult fans of Elizabeth Taylor will enjoy this story, too. I know I certainly did!!
