For over forty years Elizabeth Goudge gave her millions of readers a vision of how life was meant to be lived as few other writers have done.

Between 1934 and 1984 over forty of her books were published with many of them re-printed as many as ten times. A film adaption of ‘The Little White Horse’ is shortly to be released.

In this book about her life and writing Sylvia Gower shares her experience of visiting the places Elizabeth made famous in her books and explores the reasons for their success and evergreen appeal for today’s readers.
