For Friday
56 and Book
Beginnings:, my entries are from ‘The First Men in the Moon’ which is one of my current reads.
“As I sit down to write here amidst the shadows of vine-leaves under the
blue sky of southern Italy, it comes to me with a certain quality of
astonishment that my participation in these amazing adventures of Mr. Cavor
was, after all, the outcome of the purest accident. It might have been any one.”
Wells, H. G. (Herbert George) (2004-10-20). The First Men in the Moon (p.
3). Public Domain Books. Kindle Edition.
“As far as the eye could see over the enormous disorder of rocks that formed
the crater floor, the same bristling scrub that surrounded us was starting into
life, diversified here and there by bulging masses of a cactus form, and
scarlet and purple lichens that grew so fast they seemed to crawl over the
rocks. The whole area of the crater seemed to me then to be one similar
wilderness up to the very foot of the surrounding cliff.”
Wells, H. G. (Herbert George) (2004-10-20). The First Men in the Moon (p.
56). Public Domain Books. Kindle Edition.

Welcome to the Friday Funfest!!
I was in the Derby twice as a kid, what great memories…:-)
Your 55 was perfect, you are invited to play any Friday that you feel the need for a Fun challenge.
Loved your 55

The H.G. Wells book sounds really interesting from those beginning sentences. I'm going to make a note of it. Thanks for sharing.
