I re-read Ring of Bright Water. I tried afterwards to read it to my daughter but found I was unable to read even the funny bits without bawling because I knew the ending and we had to give up so we watched the film together. Virginia McKenna’s Scottish accent is dreadful but the otter and the scenery are the best.
