But I'm happy. She's dead and I'm happy. (p.32) This story is mystery to begin with death of Dr Janet Leighton. I didn' like the story with many characters like mystery, but it was easy to read for me. There are many illustrations in this book and they are very real. So I got strong impression from them than the contents of the story. MacAndrew, Richard. (2007). A Death in Oxford. Cambridge University Press.

Hanno came to help you, Ping (p.41)   When Pig sees Hanno in the zoo, he excited, but also unhappy. Hanno is a magnificent African gorilla, big and black and much stronger than a man. One day, Hanno escaped from the zoo. Then they met again in a forest… The scene which Hanno protected Pig was very impressive for me. And I thought there are something like parental for Pig.

You wished to see me, and here I am. (p.8) 　   When the childre dug a hole in the gravel-pit, they were very surprised at what they found. 'It' was a Psammead, a sand-fairy, thousands of years old. It could give wishes. For example, if you wish to fly, you will fly. But the siblings ended up sleeping on the roof. If a boy wish to become beautiful, he will become beautiful, but his mother couldn't recognise him and he couldn't enter his house.  After their wishes come true, they had some troubles. I thought there are many　stories　aboutfairy,　but I　have　never　read a story which doesn't  go well like this. However this story has dreams and very nice story. Nesbit, Edith. (2000). Five Children and It. Oxford University Press.
