(DLA Las Piñas GS LRC) April Book of the Month - The Chimney Corner Collection

Can't get enough of tales full of exciting magical worlds, enchanting fairies and pixies, wonderful imaginative adventures, unusual characters, and fantastic journeys with toys that come alive? So do we! That's why gazillions of Enid Blyton's (whose pen was always writing short and quirky stories) much-loved brilliant stories are on display at our shelves in all sizes and lengths!

This month though, we're featuring one of the books we really like -- The Chimney Corner Collection!

It's a sure hit with boys and girls alike!
