Enchanting

Moondial by Helen Cresswell is a children’s classic that I thoroughly enjoyed. It is perfect for ages ten years and over.

Moondial is an enchanting tale as we follow a young girl, Minty. She is a very likable lead character with a heart of compassion for the hurting.

Staying in an old house, the veil between the present and times past, is thin. Friendship between like-minded individuals is called for in order to save the day.

We see the cruelty to, and of, children in times past. As we see the terrible time a character has because of a large birthmark on her face.
