![]() ![]() Emma Cobley is the villainness and a being largely of evil, you are not supposed to love her! To which I say, yes, but she has so much aplomb! I have never read a children's fantasy villainness who makes it to the end of the book as unperturbed as Emma Cobley does. ![]() Nesbit-ian children's fantasy about siblings having adventures! However - unusually for me, when reading a book like this - my attention was actually most captured not by the siblings (although they were awesome! My favorite was Robert who was constantly deciding he was Robin Hood or a pirate or Sir Walter Raleigh and acting accordingly, much to everyone's frustration, because I totally did that), or even their awesomely Merriman Lyonesque sarcastic vicar uncle, but Emma Cobley.īut Becca! someone who has read the book might say. ![]() Elizabeth Goudge's Linnets and Valerians was a rec from fahye based on my abiding love for English children's fantasy centered around siblings having ADVENTURES. ![]()
