Linnets and Valerians by Elizabeth Goudge
5.0
GOOD NEWS sad and depressing children's books are OUT and good and kind books filled with joy are IN!
Linnets and Valerians by Elizabeth Goudge is a fairly simple story about four children who run away to their uncle's home and have some adventures BUT in the vein of books much like The Secret Garden where the magic and wonder of the world from a child's perspective explodes off the page and into your heart to stay forever. This book centers on good people investing in these children and in turn the children help pull an elderly woman out of sadness and despair and reunite families. This book is a crescendo of all things good, quiet, and joyful, a perfect read to recharge your heart and mind. Five Stars.
