If katlaughing were still with us, she would reiterate
some of her old posts on older Mudcat threads,
in which she sang the praises of an Elizabeth Goudge novel.

"The White Witch" is the name of katlaughing's favored book.
I have yet to read this one.
The setting is Cromwell's England,
when "witches" were burned at the stake.

Another Mudcat member was partial to
"The Middle Window," which was made into a television film in Germany,
called "Das Mittlere Fenster."
This historical novel examined reincarnation.
The more historical part of the novel
took place in Scotland at the time of Culloden;
the reincarnated souls were reborn in the 20th century.
