She seems to have confused faith with telewhatsis in that paragraph. Or, since it’s the West Country, maybe dowsing.

I still think you've got to walk toward the thing when it's dowsing. She must have meant telewhatsis.

Little White Horse or bust, but this was a very good review and obviously written by a person with a deep grounding in Magical Children’s Literature, books in which there may be steep peril but, to possibly manglequote F.H. Burnett, the magic won’t let the very worst thing happen.

Thank you! I did read a lot of that.

I am delighted. If he goes for it enough, we should pirate him the 1986 LWT version.
