I particularly enjoyed Miss Buncle's Book and Miss Buncle Married.<br /><br />This particular reader attends Stevenson get-togethers with the Stevenson Society (some are in Europe!).<br /><br />I also started reading Elizabeth Goudge last winter and have been slowly collecting my favorites of her books.<br /><br />My young friends Lanier, and Sarah Clarkson, both encouraged my Goudge reading. I will be forever grateful. :)Brenda@CoffeeTeaBookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02719695370857675146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4012744915676074134.post-51148681510465134372010-10-12T12:50:48.251-07:002010-10-12T12:50:48.251-07:00Yeah!

But since then every Stevenson book I've read I've thoroughly enjoyed. They have romance, but they aren't light fluffy blah. They have plot, they have comedy, they are just refreshing to read. I am looking forward to checking out Shoulder the Sky in the future. Thanks for the review.Sarah M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08658247100019831005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4012744915676074134.post-90221975611857015112010-10-09T07:59:24.135-07:002010-10-09T07:59:24.135-07:00oops -- *her* books.oops -- *her* books.GretchenJoannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13641677400029070452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4012744915676074134.post-85706298387671374242010-10-09T07:55:54.378-07:002010-10-09T07:55:54.378-07:00I am always happy to hear of books set in Scotland...I am always happy to hear of books set in Scotland, and this author is new to me.

Libraries are discarding constantly, and as Stevenson's books have become less popular, they're more often discarded.
