I think this is one of the finest children's books ever written and I have lost count of the number of times I have read it. Those of you who have yet to discover it have a treat ahead.Elainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09848701699665839821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-446727280609751914.post-12994237841429103502007-12-01T07:32:00.000+00:002007-12-01T07:32:00.000+00:00To clarify the observation from OVW - the gardener...To clarify the observation from OVW - the gardener is a Christian with a very high view of scripture, and won't allow anyone to place a book on top of his Bible. He plays a significant role in 'unpacking' the story.<BR/><BR/>I think I've worked out how not to be anonymous<BR/><BR/>OVAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-446727280609751914.post-49438375734376038022007-11-30T16:39:00.000+00:002007-11-30T16:39:00.000+00:00I still find it difficult to put anything down on ...I still find it difficult to put anything down on top of a bible.

The way they do the time-slip is brilliant. Philippa Pearce is a fine writer and all her books are terrific. Try also the short stories.adelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15826710558292792068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-446727280609751914.post-13201498434941808332007-11-30T02:24:00.000+00:002007-11-30T02:24:00.000+00:00I love this book too!

I'd love to read something else of hers.Nikki in Niagarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13348586723780500367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-446727280609751914.post-38825882322775460372007-11-29T23:59:00.000+00:002007-11-29T23:59:00.000+00:00I've never read this either but it just happens to...I've never read this either but it just happens to be on the shelf behind me on my tbr pile. Part of a small pile of children's books I plan to read as and when. The one book by Philippa Pearce I have read and love to pieces is Minnow on the Say. Treated myself to a first edition a while back in fact. So I would encourage you to read that one too. :-)Cathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06371069000185280668noreply@blogger.com
