Towers in the Mist by Elizabeth Goudge

It is late sixteenth-century London when awkward teenage Faithful travels to Oxford to study in England s great university. When Canon Leigh takes him in, Faithful enters into a family as exciting and educational as the university itself.



Woven into the narratives of Faithful and the canon s daughter Joyeuce is Oxford during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I with the pomp and sordidness of the spectacular era of England s Golden Age. Not only a historical journey, Towers in the Mist is also a coming-of-age tale of young love and hope.


Elizabeth Goudge (1900 1984) was a British novelist born into the home of an Anglican priest and theologian. She wrote children s books as well as novels her Green Dolphin Street was made into a 1947 Academy-Award winning film starring Lana
Turner, Van Heflin, and Donna Reed. In style and themes she parallels English writers such as the creator of the Miss Read series, as well mirroring the spiritual depth found in George MacDonald s Victorian novels. A Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature, she won the Carnegie Award in 1947 for The Little White Horse, which is J. K. Rowling s favorite children s book.
