Gatty’s Tale by Kevin Crossley-Holland
… Gatty makes for a lovely young heroine. Although only a field-girl, she is impulsive, bright, compassionate, and possesses an innate sense of wisdom and openness to the world around her that makes for several thought-provoking moments. She compares her journey to a story that contains several forever-unknown stories within it, referring to the people she meets or sees on her way, and on returning from her great pilgrimage and attempting to share her experiences with a friend, she realizes that “no one is really quite as interested in us as we are in ourselves.” Read the rest.
I really enjoyed this book. I agree with your comments about Gatty – she is a realy strong and endearing main character. I preferred the Arthur series though. I love the poetic nature of those books. A really interesting review to read.
