If you are one of Ms. Goudge's many readers, you are already entranced by her settings, her characters, and her wonderful use of language. If not, I invite you to join us in this wondrous realm. A place to dream of a not so very long ago time. Her detail creates the entire reality; real people, vistas, smells and sounds. As with her other works, from "Scent of Water", to Three Cathedrals, her books on Faith and everything in between (including her children's books) you are part of the world as she knew it and I for one find it hard to leave. Joyously, her books are those that can be read over and over again!
