Why on earth did it take me so long to learn about this reissue?
Tragically, my library hasn’t acquired it . . . yet. Oh, I wanna read it!
The lib. does have Langley’s other novel. I’ll have to check it out for y’all.

The Forgotten Bookshelf Archive

Whoo. In the course of schlepping all of my junk from The Evil Blogger to The Somewhat Less Evil WordPress, I’ve decided to make a handy-dandy archive of what has always been this blog’s most popular feature: The Forgotten Bookshelf. Here you’ll find picture books, fiction, poetry, folklore, and even the (very) occasional non-fiction from the Days of Yore. These are classics reclassified — gems from years past that are raring to be unearthed and enjoyed by a new generation of readers. Read on and happy hunting!
