What Members Thought

This was a wonderful read. Had I read it when I was a child, I probably would have completely fallen in love with it. I did love the story, it just got a little bogged down toward the end with all the talk of "magic."

Brilliant children's book that I haven't read in a long time, I must dig it out and read it again because it's a real classic!

My favorite childhood book. I think I identified with Mary's solitude. Very magical.
