"One of my favorite kids' books. Goudge is a luminous writer that influenced many current children's writers, including J.K. Rowling and Peter S. Beagle. Read this and THE LITTLE WHITE HORSE and you'll see how these authors referenced Goudge.
Also interesting: this book contains descriptions of protective bees, which reminded me of THE SECRET LIFE OF BEES."
"Very sweet little book, takes place in Victorian England. Four very likable children, a harsh grandmother, mother dead, father in Egypt. A little magic and mythology, but mostly just a sweet story with good, believable characters."
