Elena has an interesting post about Caryll Houselander , author of Petook, Catholic Stories for Boys and Girls, My Path to Heaven, etc.

I didn't really know where to put this, but since Petook was discussed just recently, thought I'd put it here.

Suzanne,
I have a mini-degree from studying Caryll Houselander. How did you ever know?

Very interesting character. Very interesting writer.

If anyone ever gets the chance, read her autobiography "A Rocking Horse Catholic". It's very brief and an extremely easy read.

As a Caryll Houselander fan, I second Cay's recommendation and actually anything written by her.

Thanks for posting, Suzanne

Very interesting, Elena. Thanks for the link, Suzanne. One thing caught my attention as I began reading. Robin Maas referred to Caryll as a "homely" child, but the photo Elena has of Caryll as a girl shows an extremely beautiful child. Not homely at all to my eye!
