Dr John Granger and I will begin our Lake and Shed reviews of the twenty-one stories written at least in part by J. K. Rowling. In this introduction to our month long project to celebrate Mrs Murray’s 60th birthday, we explain the Japanese concept of Kanreki, 還暦, or calendar re-birth.

Join John, in his shed in Oklahoma, and me, by my lake in Wales as we kick off this exciting new series.
