pickI loved so many things about this: irrepressible Selina, her pony named Haggis, the food descriptions, the Scottish setting, and a goose named Big Wullie! The basic plot: Selina befriends a crusty old farmer when her pony keeps “planting” himself in said farmer‘s turnip field.
Selina is kind of a misfit—both her mishaps & her soft heart for outsiders are endearing. The exploration of what it means to take care of others, even when you and they ⤵️
pickThis is a reprint of the 50th year . I rescued it from an op shop. When I was teaching I read these stories to my Year 1s. Rereading it now I think it would still appeal to young ones. I‘m going to try in on step granddaughter who is a little older but has a naughty little sister.
I really enjoyed this #girlsown book. My favorite trope (orphan girl goes to live with unsympathetic aunt), along with Girl Guides, and a mystery. I‘m glad Books to Treasure is reissuing these vintage novels.
(Not in the Litsy database, so I tagged another book by the same author.)
April is always such a busy month.
