I got this book from a free little library and was glad for it! It's a cozy 1940's fantasy-fiction that centers around a sad MC women who's "fairy godmother" aunt who passes and leaves her the title Thornyhold house. It was low stakes and the atmospheric descriptions made for a lovely cozy read. It lost some stars for me as it was a bit boring at parts at the romance in it felt a little silly but it wasn't a dealbreaker. If you like cozy nature witchcraft themed books, definitely give this short book a whirl.
