I love the way this author tells a children's story! It has the feel of a fairy tale, but using time travel as a means to connect a girl living in the 1930's Chelsea, England with the 16th century Tudor period. The book itself was published in 1939 and the author was one of J. R. R. Tolkien's...

A beautifully realized finish to a great series. I don't do many "series," but Boston's writing is so evocative of a time and place, the feelings of comfort and serenity she conjures become addictive. The characters are indelibly etched in my mind - Grandmother Oldknowe, Tolly, Ping, Linnet, Toby and...

Wow, this actually took me almost a year to get through. Well, I was reading other books beside this. And I would say this isn't something that you would just sit down and read through all at once. I would pick this up when ever I need a little inspiration or guidance. There is a lot to absorb for such a small...
