I read it just when I was moving to France and it really helped me to stop feeling perpetually homesick and like a fish out of water and to take note of the little things, the wonderful things that make France an incredible place to live.<br />I am loving how many Princess Bride fans are popping up with this post! Can't recommend it enough, it's so wonderful to hear all the little back stories to the making of the film!Rosyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06460676250901770530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-514984336753021661.post-39921538769043329112015-05-20T16:52:40.845+01:002015-05-20T16:52:40.845+01:00Ooo I shall do, thank you so much for the rec!
