Elizabeth Goudge

Discover the story of Maria Merryweather, a determined thirteen-year-old orphan who arrives at Moonacre Manor, her family's ancestral home in an enchanted village in England's West Country. Despite feeling like she's entered Paradise, Maria quickly learns of a sadness shadowing Moonacre Manor and the town around it. Determined to restore peace and happiness to the valley, Maria finds herself involved with an ancient feud and discovers it is her destiny to end it and right the wrongs of her ancestors. Enter a world of new-fashioned fantasy and classic fairy tales with this enchanting book that inspired both a mini-series and a movie adaptation.
