Gatty's Tale. Kevin Crossley-Holland (Revised) | 
pickSo first up this has been on my kindle for eons and I don‘t know why I ever bought it. Secondly I had hoped it would be my Jan #bookedintime but it‘s 200 years too late and thirdly it‘s one of the most grown up children‘s books I have ever read!! With all that out of the way I absolutely loved this story about a young girl with no family and limited prospects who as second chamber maid joins her widowed lady on a pilgrimage to Jerusalem ⬇️
Itchyfeetreader As ever on a pilgrimage the journey is at least as important as what she find when she makes it. This is full of vibrant descriptions of fabulous places. amazing characters and a quite preen sensibility that doesn‘t feel out of place. I rated it 4 stars on Goodreads but may go back and update as one that I think will really stay with me 11mo
