A review by lian_tanner
The Cuckoo Tree by Joan Aiken

4.0

Joan Aiken is always good value, and her books about Dido Twite, with their alternative history of England, are wonderful romps. Dido is an unstoppable force, brave, imaginative and hilarious. In 'The Cuckoo Tree' she is as fierce as ever. I suspect that a lot of modern fictional heroines owe a lot to this feisty wee girl and her adventures.
