Read 3 times. Last read July 30, 2023 to August 1, 2023.
{2021(?) Reread}
I remember really liking this when I was younger, and I really liked it again upon rereading it. It's a lovely, very atmospheric book that has a unique and nostalgia-inducing "aura" to it. It reminds me quite a lot of Charlotte's Web, actually, which is High Praise Indeed.
Definitely recommend if you enjoy these kinds of stories. Some of the anecdotes related lost my interest now and then, but then other times I'd come across a phrase or paragraph that was so carefully and accurately written that I was Most Impressed. ;)
A childhood friend that can stand the test of time, this one!

Enright is the best at atmosphere! I have been meaning to re-read this one. Only read it once as a kid but it has stayed with me.
