Chatting Books Online Day 176. Today's recommended book is The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore by William Joyce. I am an absolute fan of William Joyce's work (see Chatting Books Online Day 76 - coincidence I assure you - where I told you about my fave Ollie's Odyssey).
The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore is a story of how a man saved books and in turn books saved a man told in the most delightful storybook. This is the story that inspired the Academy Award Winning Animated Short Film for by the same name. It is the story of a bibliophile and avid writer of his own story that finds himself scattered after a storm and how books and stories saved him and his story. If you've got 15 minutes I highly suggest you pull up the short film on youtube and watch it, you will surely enjoy it.
