Is it spring? Is it still winter? We’re being kept on our toes here. By the time you read this, I’ll be doing a treasure hunt around Oxford (no real idea what it entails) and it’s meant to RAIN, so we’ll see. Hope you have good weekend plans, and here’s a book, blog post, and link to get you through it either way.
1.) The blog post – one of my favourite bloggers has reviewed my favourite book! Even better, she likes it. I still get thrilled whenever I see someone review Miss Hargreaves, and I’m particularly pleased that it’s at Radhika’s Reading Retreat.
2.) The link – I haven’t watched it yet, but I discovered that there is an adaptation of Miss Hargreaves available to watch on YouTube! Sadly not Margaret Rutherford’s – we can but dream of that being unearthed – but Mary Wickes’, from 1952. Only 45 minutes, so will be intrigued to see what they’ve managed to include.
3.) The book – it’s not out until end of May, but I was excited to get a review copy of the latest Gertrude Trevelyan novel that will be reprinted by Boiler House Press – her final novel, Trance By Appointment. And what an excellent cover choice. It also reminds me that I’ve yet to read As It Was In The Beginning, so plenty to enjoy.
P.S. you can also have a reminder that the 1952 Club is coming up in one month’s time! 21-27 April – looking forward to it.
Oooh, interested to see the Trevelyan! And looking forward very much to 1952 ☺
I’ve gone over the top with my 1952 reading, I’ll confess :D there were too many wonderful options!
I’m already reading my books for the 1952 Club!
I’ve sneakily been doing it all year :D
I love Miss Hargreaves! And I am very excited about the forthcoming Trevelyan. Hooray for Boiler House Press!. I’ve read William’s Wife and I have been saving up the other two; I have them in one of my tbr piles so I can now safely plough on and read them with the knowledge there is still another to come!
I will not rest until Miss H has taken over the world! And yes, hurrah for BHP, particularly the Trevelyans – which were impossible to get hold of before.
Thank you for your kind words Simon, and for linking to my post:) I’m still thinking about Miss Hargreaves, such a wonderful book.
It makes me so happy that you read it :)
That movie was great! Thanks, Simon 😁
Such a loose adaptation, but so fun!
