my most beloved childhood read. it's hard to say how well it would hold up now, in this age of YA novels that are slicker than an oil spill, but i have the fondest memories of this book. a perfect mashup of historical, fantasy, and magical realism. plus, a cat you will love. three cheers for ms wynne jones!
