I have a copy lurking on my shelves somewhere, so I may have to dig it out for a reread sometime this year. Ah yes, I remember ‘The Dean’s Watch’ well.

How lovely to be able to teach books like that; I hope your students enjoy it! I'd quite forgotten about 'Ballet Shoes', although I devoured Noel Streatfield's books like there was no tomorrow when I was younger. I may have to see if there's any chance I can locate my copy.

I always included her in my Children's Literature modules and the students were astounded that the woman they associated with 'The Railway Children' had written such wonderful fantasy novels. Personally, I go back to Noel Streatfeild. 'Ballet Shoes' forever. I love Nesbitt.

Thank you for reminding me. Such nostalgia! My ultimate comfort read, though, will always be 'The Dean's Watch' by Elizabeth Goudge. xxx I loved this book as a child, and I’d forgotten about it!
