The movie is good, too, but the book has that wonderful language that you mentioned. It's definitely a keeper! I also loved I Capture the Castle, so perhaps I should take a look at Big Rock Candy Mountain because you seem to have great taste in books!

I would recommend it to you even though you've read the book. There is some great Welch singing in it, and Maureen O'Hara as Ceridwen...need I say more.<br /><br />Also, Wallace Stegner is my favorite! I just finished "Crossing to Safety" last week. It's one of the best books I've ever read, hands down. "Angle of Respose" is another Stegner classic that I know you would love. He's such an amazing writer! "Big Rock Candy Mountain" was on my list already. Glad to hear a great recommendation from you.Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05832602177068743447noreply@blogger.com
