The Moonspinners by Mary Stewart
5.0
Big thanks to Emmy for sending me a vintage hardcover copy of this book. ❤️
This interested me because I am a big fan of the 1964 film with Hayley Mills of the same name. I was so excited to find I enjoyed the book even more. The story was Disney-sanitized for the big screen and major plot changes were made for the sake of time.
The Nicola character in the book is a little older. This allows Mary Stewart to craft a truly admirable heroine who is capable, intelligent and a darn good secret agent/spy. The male characters attempt to shield her from the action and keep her out of things, but her assistance proves invaluable in the end.
Highly recommend on all counts.
