News of the World by Paulette Jiles is among my favorite books. Set after the Civil War in the Texas Oklahoma Territory,it tells the story of a news reader who travels Texas sharing the latest news stories and a 10 year old girl he is charged with returning to her family in South Texas after being a captive of the Kiowa Indians for the past four years.

A beautifully written narrative that is both uplifting and hopeful.

This little book is among my absolute favorites. It presumes the Queen and her corgis happen onto a Mobile Library Van at the gates of Buckingham Palace and she is transformed into a reader. The situations that ensue are treated with humor and dry English wit that will delight and entertain you and perhaps give you a needed lift!
