Of course I have to respond to some of these!! (I so much enjoy this game, *grin*) Eleanor Farjeon - yes! Those slightly romantic stories in Martin Pippin in the Apple Orchard are delightful Rumer Godden - of course!! My own particular favourite was Home is the Sailor, but I always loved the Japanese ones. And Holly and Ivy Nancy Bond - still like A String in the Harp best. I plan to write about that, so I'll restrain myself now. Jane Langton - I wonder if it was the jack in the box that creeped you out - I remember hating the illustration because it really scared me (though normally I love Eric Blegvad's illustrations) Elizabeth Goudge - I think her reprinting is a direct JKRowling effect - she has said somewhere that A Little White Horse is one of her favourite books. It's certainly one of mine - I adore it. I also love Linnets and Valerians I wrote about the rooms in them some fairly long time ago... Margaret Storey - yes, yes! I loved the Timothy books, and Pauline!
