The Correct Elizabeth Goudge Novel

[rushthatspeaks]

Right, I have like seventeen things I am wanting to write and fifty-three things I really ought to do, but I am also sick and exhausted, and as a result it has started actively bothering me again that one of the best books in the world is not in print, so I thought I would rant about it

I think, the precise blend which makes the trick work: the Valley of Song is theologically located on the outskirts of Heaven, but is metaphysically in the land of Faerie. Each person who goes into it sees it differently, but each sees it in terms of the mythologies which a) mean the most to them and b) influence them the most, which two are not always the same thing. And the book's plot does not center around retelling any of the Christian stories. Okay. Now it is my mission to find and read this book

I think NOBLE is North Of Boston Library Exchange.

Apparently I can't reserve things directly from the virtual catalogue, but I can ask my library if they can get me a copy.

You should; it is a book you particularly would like.

[rushthatspeaks]

Yes. Withdrawn. Grrrr-aargh.

Best of luck, as you personally would I think love this book a very great deal.

I put in a request through my library. If any non-missing copies exist, I should get one shortly.
