Look, it’s a very silly book but good fun. I do wonder at Mitford’s bravery n trying to publish it. Did she really think the war would stay phony long enough to get it into print for a receptive audience?

I would always tell you that I don’t like horror, except I do, when it is like this, otherworldly and deeply embedded in folk mystery.

A simple sweet story. More Enid Blyton than Miyazaki, though evidently it inspired Spirited Away.
