▶열살소녀의영어일기,한권의책이되다

일기란날마다그날그날겪은일이나생각,느낌따위를적은개인적인기록물이다.일기를쓰는습관은하루일과를마감하며자신의오늘을돌아볼수있는객관적지표가되기도하고,내일의자신을만들어갈자양분이되기도한다.또한어린시절쓴일기는당시의감수성을고스란히담고있어때묻지않은상상력과순수함을발견할수있다.
『TheWonderfulStoryClub』는저자가영국런던으로건너간2000년~2002년에작성한영어일기를바탕으로재구성됐다.당시그녀의나이는열살.어린아이의시선으로마주하는런던에서의소소한일상들이고스란히전해진다.특히꾸밈없는순수한필체와생각들을통해무궁무진한상상력과이야기들을만날수있다.
이책은그녀가일주일에한권씩책을읽고자신의의견과이야기를나누는스토리클럽에가입하면서시작된다.책을읽고생각을나누고글을쓰며그녀가키워온이야기들이시작되는시점이기도하다.이외에도저자가런던생활을하며만난사람들의이야기,친구들과의해프닝,학교생활,휴일에떠난여행등어린날의추억들을찬찬히풀어놓았다.독자들은이책을통해어린소녀의유학이야기를전해들을뿐만아니라당시저자가느꼈던생각이나느낌과도교감할수있다.또한비교적쉬운영어문장으로구성되어있어서초등학교5~6학년,중학생,영어공부를시작한성인등의교육용에세이로도사용할만하다.

ShinJiPark은1991년부산에서태어났다.초등학교3학년이되던해인2000년,그녀는가족들과영국으로넘어가2여년의시간을보낸다.이책은그녀의유년시절에대한찬란한기록이다.또한한국과는조금다른영국에서의생활을기록하며어린소녀가느꼈을사소한일상의즐거움이숨어있다.책을사랑했던어느평범한소녀가즐겁게써내려간어린시절의추억.이책이가진소소하고따뜻한이야기들을통해자신의삶에숨어있는원더풀한이야기를만날수있을것이다.
