That is a beautiful copy of A Book of Comfort! I have a horribly ugly copy of A Book of Peace (all 1970's orange flame). The poems and excerpts are lovely, but the book itself is hard on the eyes (with or without the dust jacket). Now I want to go searching for an edition as lovely as your Book of Comfort. :) Thank you for sharing it, Sarah. Also, "healing fiction"--what a lovely term, and so apropos of Goudge; her fiction is restorative and healing, perhaps because it acknowledges the harshness of life while also holding firmly (even fiercely?) to hope.

It was so nice to hear your thoughts and see your collection, Sarah!
