I love D.E. Stevenson, but didn't realize that anyone else in the modern world still read her!

Sherwood Smith turned me on to Miss Buncle's Book; it's our first D.E. Stevenson title.

Have you read the sequel? It's almost as good.

I adore D.E. Stevenson.

Miss Buncle's Book? Oh, the title is just amazing. I love it.

[rolanni.livejournal.com]

You must read it! It's a Writers Book, and Absolutely True, like the The Unstrung Harp is Absolutely True.

I LOVE the Unstrung Harp. I already Downloaded the book. It will be good after I finish reading Zombie by Joyce Carol Oates, which is not about zombies, but about a serial killer and is incredibly dark and evil.

My mother and I used to say "And make it strong, Dorcas, make it strong!" to each other on suitable occasions.

Another D E Stevenson fan here. I have a collection of paperbacks somewhere, although it's been a while since I reread them. Checking her bibliography, I see I'm missing quite a few, though, including Miss Buncle's Book.

Do you have Miss Buncle Married to read next?After I saw the same recomendation, I asked my library to get them for me on interlibrary loan.They arrived in a condition showing much love from others and I greatly enjoyed them again.I'd read all her books my library had when I was in high school.

No, I didn't realize there was a sequel. Obviously, I need to rectify my error.

And after Miss Buncle Married is The Two Mrs. Abbotts, even more difficult to find.

Love the Miss Buncle books - my paperback copies are falling apart, but still readable.
