Some books send a frisson of anticipation down your spine as the first few pages are turned. This one not only lives up to, but exceeds, its initial promise - with illustrations that make you want to stroke the page, and a story of such family warmth and country charm, you're left with a warm glow of gentle contentment. A book to return to again and again.
