Mistress Masham's Repose. One of my favorite child heroes. We discovered it on the bookshelf--it had been a family member's--and read it the first time when Aaron was five. A girl in virtually the same situation as Kay Harker in The Midnight Folk, but now there are Lilliputians. Introduces T H White and Jonathan Swift. Not to mention lessons in greed, building trust, courage, and even landscape. One can feel the moon in the tall grasses. If you've read, not seen, The Sword in the Stone (by White), you'll know what I mean. What What!?
