The Whispering Knights: A Beloved Treasure
|
|
Ever since our primary school teacher read us 'The Whispering Knights', I have been spellbound its magic. Immediately persuading my mum to buy it for me, I have read it repeatedly over the years, always with the same childlike wonder and enthrallment. An adventure of spells, witches, and ancient mystical monuments surrounding three village children: Martha, Susie & William; 'The Whispering Knights' is a fantastic story with the power to evoke the wildest magical dreams in a child's imagination. Superbly written and illustrated, it is in my opinion the best of Penelope Lively's works. I still count it as my favourite book ever. Exciting, scary & simply unforgettable. Now, reaching my mid-twenties, my original copy is so worn the pages have fallen out, and I find myself in search of a pristine copy so I can enjoy it again.
