Window seat!!!

[osprey_archer]

In a hotel this evening - it takes a long time to get to Canada - and WE HAVE A WINDOW SEAT. It overlooks a distant cornfields and a forest and a thicket of wild yellow flowers, and I have the perfect book to read while I sit there, Linnets and Valerians. I do not intend to leave until I am dragged out by wild horses and/or the promise of pie from Perkins.

We are also back in the land of Perkins! It is pretty exciting.

I also read The Little White Horse when I was a kid! The style of Linnets and Valerians actually reminded me of it, so I checked and lo! it was the same author.

And I loved the description of Nan's hidden parlor. How lovely to have her own room with her own fireplace, all to herself!

It's too bad to hear that Gouge's adult books were so much more heavy-handed than her children's books, though.
