the Diddakoi: Rumer Godden

I read this book LOADS as a kid, so when I came to read it again just now was surprised that I didn't remember the storyline at all. Its about a half romany kid and the trials she faces. It looks at bullying, racism and stuff: all in a very sweet story! Such sentimentality!

The Hawk And The Dove: Penelope Wilcock

This is a trilogy but it all runs into one another so will get just the one review. Its a set of kids novels telling stories from a twelfth century Benedictine Monastery. Its beautiful (though the last one does get a bit wee focused!). Worth a read!
