Young Susan Garland found the village school rather tedious -- she had, after all, read the unabridged "Robinson Crusoe" -- although this was somewhat alleviated by the thrill of walking home to Windystone Hall Farm through Dark Wood. Excitement came to a country child in other ways, too: with clowns and wild beasts of the visiting circus; the marvels of winter, when Jack Frost painted exotic foliage over the windows; Christmas, when the elderberry wine and mince pies appeared; and a rather embarrassing incident with an ...

A Book for Every Library

A Country Child is one of those wonderful books that can be read at any age. Whether read to a child or by a young reader, or by those in their dotage, this book speaks to the sense of wonderment that we all have or that needs to be reawakened about the natural world. The landscape and all that it comprises stars in this narrative about living on a farm in England. It's role is written by an author with a poet's gift for description and the power to connect the reader emotionally to the very leaves of the trees. You will find yourself reading more slowly toward the end, because you will not want to leave Susan and this reconnection to the best that childhood has to offer. A Country Child is a should-be classic and not to be missed.
