Can I Get There by Candlelight? | Jean Slaughter Doty

Look what I‘m reading, @Centique . You were the last person to post about this book … 8 years ago. 😆

A young girl discovers that she can visit the past while riding her pony, Candy (aka Candlelight). I can‘t resist a vintage time-slip story!

Tamra Looks like delightful escapism. 😍 1w

Somehow I never read this myself or to either of my kids. I decided to pick it up for #192025 and it was a really cute and calming this weekend while I was sick. (Published 1926)

Yesterday we visited Lindsay's home and art studios. The cockatoos were enjoying the gardens!

CarolynM It‘s a beautiful & fascinating place. I loved my visit there. Are you a Lindsay fan? There‘s a room in the Ballarat Art Gallery that is a recreation of the sitting room of the Lindsays‘ family home in Creswick. 1mo

Eggs Sounds like a great outing🐦💚🌳 1mo

Jeg One day I‘ll get there.🤞 1mo

A lion in the meadow | Margaret Mahy

Here you go @merelybookish this is the very colourful childrens author Margaret Mahy who wrote over 100 picture books as well as a couple of dozen novels. She was also a librarian and dedicated to growing young readers. She would be the most well know author in NZ because everyone (around my age at least) grew up reading her books.

Jeg Love her books. 1mo

Centique @Jeg Lion in the Meadow is my favourite. Read that to my children thousands of times! 1mo

merelybookish Thanks Paula! She is colourful! 😀 I saw she won lots of prestigious kidlit prizes out of NZ too but I'm not sure she ever cracked North America. 1mo

Secret of the Ron Mor Skerry | Rosalie K. Fry

pick

Fiona returns to live with her grandparents on the beloved Western Isles of her birth. When she visits her family‘s former home on the island of Ron Mor, she‘s sure she sees a glimpse of her baby brother, who disappeared when her family left the island four years before. Such a sweet, lovely story of family and return, with hints of myth and magic—enhanced by Fry‘s drawings throughout. So glad I picked this as my 1957 book for #192025.

willaful This must be the source of “The Secret of Roan Inish“! We just rewatched that the other day. So a beautiful movie. 2mo

BarbaraJean @willaful Yes! I haven‘t watched it yet, but really want to now that I‘ve read this. 2mo

Librarybelle Yay!! 2mo

Purr--: Children's Book Illustrators Brag about Their Cats | Michael J. Rosen

pick

This was a gift from a friend who knows my partner and I adore cats. And what a charming read it was. This poem by Nancy Willard stood out to me: “Most Merciful Seer who saw an angel and let it pass.” What a beautiful unexpected gem!
