"Have you ever heard of The English Roses? Here is what they are not: A box of chocolates, A football team, Flowers growing in the garden." It is a message on Amazon.com by Madonna for promoting her first children's book. The English Roses has sold over 500,000 copies globally since its release. It is expected to reach a million sales by the end of the year, beating even the Harry Potter books. It seems Madonna has successfully reinvented herself as a children's author.
“你知道《英国玫瑰》吗？它既不是巧克力，也不是足球队或花园里的花。”这是麦姐为促销她的第一本儿童读物在亚马逊网站刊登的信息。《英国玫瑰》在全球已售出50余万册，年底有望突破百万，势头直逼《哈利·波特》。看来麦当娜这回成功地摇身一变，成了儿童作家。
