I’m going to London!
Not for a vacation — I’m going to live there for five months while my husband teaches in his university’s London program. We’ll be staying in an apartment near the center of the city. I am SO LUCKY!
Since Baker’s Magic will be published in the UK with Curious Fox Books at the same time it’s 
published in the US (February — mark your calendars), I have a British publicist, and I’ll be able to meet her. She has amazing ideas for publicizing the book (some of them include baked goods, I love her already!), and I’ll tell you how they work out.
My husband’s course is on World War I, so we’ll be taking trips to battlefields, trenches, and war museums. But I plan to balance that grimness with pilgrimages to kidlit sites. There are so many great children’s books set in London! Here are some of my favorites (I mean favourites):
- The Magician’s Nephew
- A Bear Called Paddington
- Peter Pan
- Mary Poppins
- A Little Princess
- The Phoenix and the Carpet
What children’s books set in London do you love?
