pickGah, this book is so freaking adorable! I love everyone in it, even the bad guys. The children are fantastically written and I would marry Uncle Ambrose if I had the chance 😂 There are definitely some predictable aspects of this story, and I wish that Lady Alicia's husband and son had been missing for a more reasonable amount of time (30 years is WAY too long), but on the whole this one is just a delight.
My #WeeklyForecast shows a full windowsill as usual 😂 I should finish the tagged book today, my first completed for the #BirthdayPixieReadathon and I am hoping to also squeeze in Murder is Easy, this month's #AgathaChristieClubR2 read. For the #BacklistReadathon I'll be tackling Jill Shalvis - I own the first five books of the Lucky Harbor series, so that seems like a good place to start!!

pickDay 4 of crappy weather (freezing rain is the worst!) but this delightful tale was a comfort. Four children move to an English village where white and black magic still abound and they must fight for good against evil. The plot was predictable but that didn't matter because the charm was in the small moments between characters, the pieces of folklore, and descriptions of nature. It felt both old-fashioned and wise. #192025 @Librarybelle
Delightful book with some fun language! Had never heard of a piggy back being called a pig-a-back before! 🐖
It's a cold, miserable day here so taking a break from contemporary fiction to cozy up with some vintage children's lit. My first Goudge! Will it pass the Wallace sniff test?
Another of my favorite Elizabeth Goudge children‘s books is on sale today; $1.99 for Kindle. #childrensclassicread2021 #kindledeal #ebook
Out for a quick lunch break walk on this beautiful ☀️ day and found this little vintage treasure.
Gah, this is freakin‘ charming.
Four children and a dog, left to live with a nasty grandmother, run away and fortuitously end up with their gruff old uncle (and his one-legged gardener/cook) in a magically rambling old house in the country. The cat and her kittens live on the kitchen drain board and a pellet-spitting owl accompanies their uncle everywhere.
Has anyone else read this 1964 book? I know @rubyslippersreads is a fan! 😊
