I’m so happy that my copy arrived yesterday. Mail was delivered later in the day than usual, so it was a very pleasant surprise to see it in my box around sunset.
I have read about Elizabeth Goudge through Sylvia Gower’s book The World of Elizabeth Goudge, which I thoroughly enjoyed, but there is something special about reading her own words about her life.
Sylvia Gower's book was the first one that truly opened my eyes to Goudge and her life and her talents. I found it when I stumbled across GGB Publishing in my search for a particular novel and I believe that it is the reason why I am here in this group today. A wonderful set of circumstances.
Oooh! I was so excited to hear you had received yours! I ordered mine in the winter and hope to find it at home when I return from vacation. Can't wait!
Yes, it is a larger format than I expected too, as their other books are smaller. But this was a full sized adult book originally, so that is probably the difference. Enjoy!
I am wondering what you think about ordering it, even though I have the original. I am never hard to persuade into buying a Goudge book but I do not want to waste money. It seems as if this edition is different and has more but is not necessarily a completely new book. Thoughts?
I have the original as well, but these letters are a treasure that I would have paid for themselves. I pulled out some really good bits, but there are more and I just find it fascinating.
I take your recommendation seriously and it does seem as if the inclusion of the letters and other things makes it worth the purchase. One extra bonus is that to make the most of the International Shipping, I may need to order other things. They have a whole other set of authors that I could explore but I may even find a Goudge title that I do not ahve yet. I am off to order!
Oh, it looks very special and with the usual beautiful and thoughtful presentation and printing by GGB.
It’s lovely. High recommended!

I was also pleasantly surprised by the size.
