Travel Light (Virago Modern Classics) Tekijä: Naomi Mitchison
I don't normally pay much attention to blurbs, but a blurb from Ursula K. Le Guin, on top of the publication being from an imprint of Small Beer Press, made this little book irresistible even when the cover copy left me less than sure it would be for me. In the end, though, I'm so glad I stumbled upon it.

This short fairy-tale-esque novel sprawls over so many different territories, and with such a unique coming-of-age story. I was enchanted from the very beginning, and am somewhat shocked I hadn't heard of the author before now. What began as a sweetly amusing fairy tale turned into something deeper and more meaningful as the world and the character progressed, and left me in a bit of wonder.

I'd absolutely recommend it.… (lisätietoja)

Travel Light (Virago Modern Classics) Tekijä: Naomi Mitchison
Meh, I don’t see what all the fuss is about, and I don’t understand the comparisons to Tolkien and Lewis in the reviews. Maybe some deeper meaning will come to me later.

A Danish teapot Tekijä: Naomi Mitchison
This is a quiet little book, slow-moving but serene and comfortable. We get a good idea of life in semi-rural Denmark of the mid-20th century as two children visit their grandmother and try to earn money to replace her teapot which they have accidentally broken.
