Anne And the Sand Dobbies Revisited
August 16, 2007 on 9:56 pm | In Joys and Concerns |Awhile back I posted a review of a lovely children’s book called Anne And the Sand Dobbies, written by John Coburn.
His daughter-in-law just wrote to me courtesy of this blog and told me that the good reverend is at a relatively nearby nursing home in Massachusetts and will be turning 93 years old in September. She asked permission to share my review with him, and I think that’s just wonderful.
If I get a chance to visit him, I’d love to thank him for all his book meant to me, and perhaps to get it autographed.
The internet is a wonderful thing. I’m not sure that I even knew that Mr. Coburn was a minister. This is really neat.

I just nabbed a copy on Amazon for $.88, plus shipping. I figured they’d sell out of the cheap used copies quickly, since Peacebang recommended it.
