If you haven't already seen The Secret of Moonacre, stop whatever you're doing right now and watch it on Netflix. GO!!
I loooooved it. The second it was over, I went to Amazon and ordered the book it was based on (The Little White Horse). I love good children's films and literature. They make me happy.
The Little White Horse was my favorite book growing up! You should read other Elizabeth Goudge books too-- they're all really lovely and a little magical :) The ones I loved best are "Linnets and Valerians" and "The Blue Hills."
ReplyDeleteOh, awesome!! Thanks for the recommendation! I love when authors have multiple good books. If you like good children's literature still, you could try reading any of Gail Carson Levine's books. They're amazing! I studied them in some of my teaching classes, and I can't wait I can read them with my own children!
DeleteChildren's books are always the best for when you need to regain your faith in humanity. I always reread the Madeleine L'Engle books and the Enchanted Forest chronicles when I need a pick me up :)
DeleteHey is this the movie you were talking about? Ivy told me to watch it first.
ReplyDeleteWell, I'm the one who actually watched it first!!! So there.
DeleteI think I'd love this. Will add it to the top of my list as soon as this mag is launched.
ReplyDeleteYes, you must!
