This week we have been mainly listening to an unabridged reading of The War of the Worlds by H. G. Wells. This is an excellent story written in a documentary-style, telling us of the invasion of the south of England by a group of Martians, and their plans to take over the entire planet with the use of experimental flying machines.
Bev had read this book many years ago (possibly when it was published in 1898) but had forgotten many of the details of the story. We bears are not that old, of course, so this was our first reading of this excellent book and we all thoroughly enjoyed it.
Ok, we are off to find something else to read whilst travelling to and from work each day. It certainly beats road rage or listening to tedious radio stations. At this rate, we will be the best-read bears (and chimp) in Hertfordshire :-)
