Judith Kerr - Author
A playful fantasy about love continuing after loss, balancing extravagant imagined adventures against the quiet value of an ordinary shared life.
"It's things we've never tried before That are the greatest fun, Like riding on a dinosaur, Which I had never done." Married couples are used to little trips together. Henry's wife can see no reason why they should stop just because one of them is no longer around. In fact she can't help going a little bit over the top, imagining all sorts of wonderful outings, including dinosaur rides and dolphin drawn water ski sessions. In the end however, even the most magical and exotic daydreams can never quite compare to their past everyday life together.

The book’s emotional centre is loss within a marriage. Consider whether its fantastical tone feels comforting or difficult, especially if bereavement is currently close to home.
This is a grounded book brief while Suitabook strengthens the analysis: the current material supports only a cautious reading; another book-specific source is still needed.
