[dinny]

Just felt an overwhelming urge to read this and can't find my copy ANYWHERE, so just ordered it. Anyone remember it? SUCH a lovely book, can't wait to read it to dd!

[lillypie]

It's my absolute fave!!My Gran used to read it to my sister and I when we were small.I bought it a few years ago at Waterstones,can't wait to read it to my DD either

[KatyMac]

My favourite book ever

[Bluestocking]

It's heavenly, isn't it? Henrietta's House is lovely too.

[dinny]

oooh, haven't read that, Bluestocking

Loveday Minette....Loveday tis an old family name of ours, tempted to use it if I have another dd

and remember Wrolf? ah... and Periwinkle...

[Uriel]

Wonderful book.

I found a copy in Oxfam two weeks ago. I loved that ook as a kid, still love it and am looking forward to seeing the film.
Henrietta's House is a gorgeous story too, but can't afford to get a copy at the moment.

[MrsJohnCusack]

i LOVED this
might go and see if I can dig out my copy

[differentID]

I loved the sub story between Old Parson and Miss Heliotrope- almost Jane Austenesque.

FILM

What film?

[differentID]

I think they're making it into a film. HAng on a mo.

[differentID]

It's called The Secret of Moonacre. Dakota Blue Richards (Lyra in The Golden COmpass) is Maria, Tim Curry is Coeur de Lion and Ioan Gruffudd is Sir Benjamin. Due out in Feb next year

[dinny]

ooooh!!

and

[dinny]

Coeur de Lion ? Wrolf?

[differentID]

Nothing for wrolf- they'll probably do him mainly CGI

[dinny]

can't remember Coeur de Lion ...

[differentID]

I'm dreading what they're going to do to it. Are they going to Bowdlerize the massively Christian message throughout the story?

[differentID]

Black William's descendent?

[dinny]

AH YES!

[differentID]

Tim Curry is so going to camp him up isn't he?

[dinny]

may avoid seeing the film, it'll sooooo ruin the book however good it is, because the book is SO memorable and amazing

[differentID]

Just read that the director did Bridge to Terabithia. Could have some merit.

[dinny]

ah, I loved that film

[differentID]

Made me cry a little. I love that film too.

[Heathcliffscathy]

just love this book. they had an old hardback copy at school that i hankered for.

then someone on mn reminded me of the title as i couldn't remember for the life of me (and all i said was that it was about a girl that lived in a bedroom with a carved stone ceiling with the sun and moon on it)

dh got me paperback for my bday and i loved it a whole 30 years later.

[MrsJohnCusack]

and Ioan Gruffudd too - yum
