    This looks very sweet and everyone seems to be saying nice things about it. Maybe one for next Christmas.

    This actually sounds quite delightful, the kind of book to sit over a cup of tea on a cold day. Or to place in the guest room for a nice reading surprise for someone staying over. Thank you for the review.

    I read it and loved it ❤ But yeah, it is very short, so I got it on my Kindle 😉

    Thanks Ros. Do you think you have to have read Jonathan Strange & Mr Norell to enjoy this one or would it work as a standalone?

    Glad you enjoyed it despite it's shortness. I recently did a very short review of a book, but could have gone on longer I I had gone into more detail. Mind you, people don't like me giving away the plot so I never know what to do for the best. The one you read sounds like a sweet little book `though.

    The protagonist is described as follows: “She can talk to animals and trees - and she is only ever happy when she is walking in the woods.” That could describe me.😁It’s short but sweet.
