Funnily enough, I have never read one of Elizabeth Goudge's children's books. I always wanted to read The Little White Horse, but it was never around until I was an adult, and then I wasn't in the mood for it or was too ill any time I took a look at it. I don't think I'd ever even heard she'd written others!

I only picked up on her at all thanks to random adult books in charity shops that I must have liked the look of, and I love several of those very much indeed. She's actually quite hard to find over here and has been for some decades.

It doesn't sound like this would be the one to start with, anyway! But I'm glad it turned up so you could see what it was like, because that kind of thing is important, obv. <3
