This is a wonderful story, which everyone should indulge in, and of you haven't seen the film, then you're definitely missing out on a treat.

The book itself is a beautifully presented hardback, and scattered throughout are gorgeous illustrations, that I think really add to the overall experience. It also shows us that in times of need, the person who you can turn to is not quite so far away. Totoro takes us into a magical world where he invites the reader to remember what it was like to be a child again with all it's wonder and imagination. I have watched the film version of "My Neighbor Totoro" many times, and it is certainly a firm favourite of mine, although, I must admit, this time the film wins over the book. This is very much a children's story, but I think it is an important one for adults to enjoy, too. I own a Totoro handbag, keyring, pillowcases, socks, pens, an umbrella and even a nightlamp. Well, love may not be a suitable word obsession fits better. If you are unlucky enough to know me well, you'll be well aware of my love for Totoro.
