Somewhere inside her Coraline could feel a huge sob welling up. And then she stopped it, before it came out.

Caroline: Little House, Revisited by Sarah Miller | Goodreads

It is interesting to read in Caroline Frost’s warm appreciation of the films how well-known actors came and went over the years – and why – plus some guest one-off appearances… this volume neatly rounds up many aspects of the series for those who want to surround themselves with nostalgic memories of British films that were very much of their time. Best of British magazine, July 2022 What Coraline discovers behind the door is the worst of nightmares for a child. And when this villain threatens her family Coraline must act to protect those she loves. Reading this book, makes you want to visit the studio where all the films were made, and feel like you was there in between the characters. The Little House books are legendary, so Sarah Miller was very brave to step in that territory with a new perspective -- Caroline's. She nailed it. Now that I also have lived the life of a wife and mother, I loved this book every bit as much as I did the original series. It was clear that Miller did extensive research so she could give this book more depth than the series and make it worthy of adult consumption. Coraline is a little girl who is rather introverted. This means she is ignored by adults a lot. Most of them don't even know her real name - Coraline - and instead, keep erroneously calling her Caroline. Her parents work a lot and don't spend a lot of time with Coraline.

For a moment she felt utterly dislocated. She did not know where she was; she was not entirely sure WHO she was. It is astonishing just how much of what we are can be tied to the beds we wake up in in the morning, and it is astonishing how fragile that can be.

The Baby Group: a gripping crime thriller with a twist you

It is wonderful to be able to experience Caroline’s grief over leaving Wisconsin turn into joy at the bounty and hope of their new home in Kansas. I believe that the feelings that Caroline experienced were very normal and real, and I can say this because I’ve experience somewhat similar feelings over large moves before, except the circumstances are clearly not the same. Caroline’s emotions are very in line with what ours are today despite the difference in time period, and I love being able to finally learn this about her. I love how strong and real she is, yet also vulnerable to many of the same feelings and issues that women are today. Whether she is a favorite character or not, I think she is very relatable since we have her perspective; I personally adored getting to put myself in Caroline’s unique position as she had to make that long wagon trip and start up her new home on the frontier. It wasn’t the kind of rain you could go out in, it was the other kind, the kind that threw itself down from the sky and splashed where it landed. It was rain that meant business.” Coraline is another amazing story from the creative mind of Neil Gaiman. The narration takes you on a creepy ride through the eyes of sweet and inquisitive Coraline. A blend of magical realism, dark fantasy, and things made of nightmares, all wrapped up in a children's story. The characters are creative, the creatures imaginative, and Caroline's journey is epic! What a ride it is! Finally, with constant talk about new films, fresh productions and tantalising speculation about a brand new era of Carry On, we ask - does this unique series still have legs?Frost gives balanced arguments on those films which were unsuccessful by adding the positives that were then often overlooked. The most recent film, Carry on Columbus (1992) film is often slammed for its plot and use of more obvious innuendo. But now just reading Frost’s words as she tells how producer, Peter Rogers enjoyed working with these cast members again on a franchise he instigated and adored. This gave a new look at this troubled entry to the franchise which it’s noted made more money at the Box Office than the other films commemorating the 500 year anniversary of his arrival in America.
