Lolly Willowes or, the loving huntsman
"Reading these almost-lost stories is like finding a buried treasure of fine gold and silver" Alison Lurie; "On every page, there is something to be seen or smelled or felt.. Beneath her refined witchery lies a strange freshness one can only call, in praise, primitive" John Updike
