During my stay in the Isle of Wight I visited my favourite second hand book shop
Ventnor Rare Books and picked up the first two volumes of the famous quartet of novels by Antonia White for the princely sum of £1.00 and £1.50! I began
Frost in May last night and have been virtually unable to put it down since. The story of nine-year old
Nanda's arrival and upbringing at a convent combines the best of the traditional boarding school story with the deeper resonance of faith and conflict. The second volume
The Lost Traveller looks promising, too.
