The history of iron and steelmaking is also fascinating (which I ended up studying as part of my degree as well).<BR/><BR/>Donna - I would suggest the girls read the books first and then maybe saw the films. The books do get darker but, as Michelle says, they are childrens books.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09749337741234916835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11101950.post-60255135792298329352007-07-19T07:46:00.000+01:002007-07-19T07:46:00.000+01:00I have spent many happy hours at the National rail...I have spent many happy hours at the National railway museum -- the consequence of having two boys who were train mad! The another excellent museum in York is the YorkCastle museum. I prefer these two to the Jorvik because you can wnader through at your leisure rather than taking a ride...<BR/><BR/>I should say that I love and adore museums. they are such fum to visit.<BR/><BR/>Donna --<BR/>After HP 3, they do get a tad darker BUT mine all coped with the books. It is all very PG. These are children's books, not adult books masquerading as children's books.<BR/>My dh read the books out loud to my youngest, starting when he was about 6. He is planning to read the last one out loud as well because it is a tradition. FWIW<BR/><BR/>And lol about my wip. It will be good once it has gone through the process...Michelle Styleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03400990189443593076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11101950.post-78890705986172284152007-07-18T21:29:00.000+01:002007-07-18T21:29:00.000+01:00Speaking of HP, we're on the last few chapters of ...Speaking of HP, we're on the last few chapters of The Prisoner of Azkaban.<BR/><BR/>I have a question...do the books and movies get scarier as they go on? Because my girls are 9 and 7 and I don't know if I should wait to read them more or not. <BR/><BR/>And your wip is going to be brilliant. I responded to your characters right away. :-)<BR/><BR/>D xxDonna Alwardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18107885864783850332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11101950.post-45265214497516159332007-07-18T16:22:00.000+01:002007-07-18T16:22:00.000+01:00There's another museum that isn't too far from you...There's another museum that isn't too far from you - the National Railway museum at York. <BR/><BR/>(I recommend the science museum, though.
