When Jo was 9 years old, the family moved to a village outside Chepstow on the edge of the Forest of Dean.

Here was a location that offered a whole range of imaginative possibilities...magical creatures, mystery and intrigue.

I'm very drawn to forests.

我对森林着了迷。

And it's my favorite part of the Hogwarts grounds.

这也是霍格沃茨里我最喜欢的地方。

The advantage of a forest is it can be so many things.

森林的迷人之处在于它包含了太多的东西。

It can be a place of enchantment.

它可以成为一个充满魔力的地方。

You never imagine a crowd in a forest. It's a solitary place.

你无法想象森林里会有拥挤的人流，这是一个离群索居的地方。

Is it because it used to be a place of shelter and safety to us, I suppose.

我想这是我们寻求庇护和安全的地方。

So I think- I'm very drawn to them. Even though they can be spooky.

尽管森林里可能有可怕的东西，但我就是对它们着了迷。

Jo wrote stories from an early age.

Jo and her sister, Di, earned extra pocket money as part-time cleaners of St. Luke's church.

I cannot overstate how cold it got in this church in winter when we were cleaning it. It was freezing.

毫不夸张地说，你无法想像有多冷。我们冬天在这里打扫，冷死了。

For a pound each. It's tragic, really.

每人赚一磅，真的挺惨。

We must be in here loads.

在这里肯定有我们的记录。

Because we used to sign this book all the time.

Oh, God, I know- Oh, look, it's me. There I am.

上帝，我就知道，看，这就是我，就在这里。

Me and Di together.

For an unpleasant character as well.

Hide the book. Lock it away.

把书藏起来，锁起来。

Heh, heh. Forgotten about that.

我已经忘了这件事了。

Yes.
