A Complete Goudge Catalogue
For those of you who have been reading here for a while, you know how many Goudge books we have made it through in the past 18 months! There have been adult stories, children’s novellas, devotional works and I know not what. Goudge was a prolific writer, and I have seen the growing need for an organizational system around here so that we can point Goudge readers in the right direction.
For that reason, I spent a good part of my Christmastide compiling a new catalogue list of Goudge’s books for us!
Here is where you will find it:
In the navigation bar the top of Elizabeth Goudge Bookclub you will find: Interviews & Books
Interviews
Interviews is a quick link page to all of the Goudge Reader Collections that we have featured so far. If you are interested in sharing your collection with us, even if it is just a couple of books, let me know!
Books
Books is our new catalogue list of Goudge’s books for easy searching. I have listed each book in alphabetical order for easy finding. I have also listed the series that each book belongs to at the bottom, a list of Goudge’s short story collections, her anthologies, as well as her other available writings. I now own all of these collections and unusual, ephemeral items of Goudge’s work, so I will be working on sharing with you in the coming years! They will all be linked to this list eventually.

A life’s work, learning about Goudge
Listed above are nineteen new pages for information on Goudge’s books; nineteen for readalongs that will tell you all about the locations and historical time periods of her very different works. And I have plans to make nine more for this coming year’s Goudge Readalong 2025.
Join us and ask a friend!
I appreciate all of the financial supporters here who are helping me to do this work! It is so needed, and we have seen so many new readers come to know Goudge’s books and love them as past generations have as well.
As we approach the centennial of Goudge’s work, this is the time to purchase them again in paperback and Kindle, etc so that the next generation will also have the opportunity to know her books. This is the time to read them and share them with our friends in their moments of need. I really believe that sharing her books will bless a great host that is still to come.
That looks really helpful. Thank you.
Have you lead EG readalongs in some other format, before you started the Substack site? I think you have mentioned that.
