Finished reading: Travel Light (Peapod Classics) by Naomi Mitchison 📚

Disarmingly simple and simply rich. It’s written for the young, which may annoy some people, but Mitchison makes it work and furthermore makes it appealing for adults and the older, with echoes of lessons learned through hard experiences. She was a contemporary of Tolkien and proofread versions of The Lord of the Rings, and Tolkien’s reason for trusting her shows in this story.

I agree with reviewers who say this book should be taught and offered alongside The Hobbit and Harry Potter. In fact, if you ever wished Hermione was the hero of Harry Potter, this book may really appeal to you. If you learned of this book through This Is How You Lose The Time War, you definitely want to read this. Even if the style doesn’t suit your tastes, the skill and observations of Mitchinson through Halla are worth reading.
