November, a month of remembrance; remembering the souls in purgatory and those who gave their lives for us in war.

According to Thomas Hood (1799–1845), it is also a month of: "No sun, no moon; no morn, no noon...no warmth, no cheerfulness, no healthful ease." ('November'). But here at Don Bosco Publications, we have lots of warmth, cheerfulness and healthful ease to offer. So, wrap up warm and curl up with a good book to brighten your day, and join us as we rush headlong to Advent.
