A lot of us really enjoy all of Mary stewart's books -- but this one, for many of us, was THE BEST! And it is out of print! Only about 94 pages, it is one you finish in a half hour, and then clutch to your chest and say, "Oh my gosh! -- Oh my gosh! -- Oh my GOSH!!!" Fantastic book, that - how do I get one??
