...you will find letters from your children. Do not believe everything they tell you. The part about the snake is true enough, but I assure you there are no basilisks in Thomas’s study. I would have noticed.

Not quite as enchanting as Sorcery and Cecilia, but an enjoyable read -- though apparently not one that sticks in my memory, as I read and reviewed it in 2010. I had no sense of familiarity as I settled down to read this a couple of weeks ago... Can I look forward to many more accidental rereads?

My original review can stand unamended, though I did feel that Kate -- staying home to look after Cecy's children as well as her own, and fielding a plethora of youthful adventure -- gets a raw deal.
