The Castle of Yew by Lucy M. Boston, Margery Gill

adventurous hopeful inspiring mysterious

5.0

I read this book as a child and have been searching for it for years but couldn’t remember the title or the author. It finally cropped up in a forum recently and I immediately tracked down a secondhand copy. It’s a very short and sweet, slightly wistful and idyllic book, as befits a book for such young children. I rather wish that it had been extended or that a sequel had been written, but perhaps it’s best to leave it as it is. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed reacquainting myself with it and am so glad to have found it at long last. As a lifelong lover of the author’s Green Knowe books this feels like a perfect introduction.
