Of course, the fact that it's set on the fabulous moody hills and beaches of Scotland in a creaky, old atmospheric farmhouse sure doesn't hurt.

This book is like an old friend. My fifth grade teacher, at the end of the school year, let my friend and I choose a book from her classroom bookshelves, as a gift for helping her out off an on throughout that year.

As a kid I remember this being the first "novel" that held my attention. I remember staying up late to read more.
normally I'm all over horse books, but this one didn't quite do it for me. Liked the horse, though.
This was one of my favorite books when I was a kid.
