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

4.0

A sweet short story set in the grounds of The Manor. Joseph decides to visit a garden whose river has always attracted his attention. When he goes in and meets the owner, an elderly lady, she invites him to explore the grounds. In doing so, Joseph finds himself shrunk so small that the world becomes large and dangerous yet utterly beautiful too. This may be a story of adventure and boys playing at knights but it is also a rather exquisite celebration of the beauty of the natural world.
