City of Bells, Henrietta's House, and Sister of the Angels (A Christmas Story) are a trilogy written about Torminster - based on Wells Cathedral city near Bath - all involving the heroine Henrietta. Shouldn't these three books be listed together? The other cathedral cities books have appeared in an anthology together with City of Bells, but usually they are presented seperately AFAIK.

Also a question to anyone who might know, I read a book by Elizabeth Goudge that I found at the library. I would very much like to read it again, but I haven't been able to remember it's title, and I've scanned through bibliography lists and not recognised it. Can anyone tell me what it is called? The story started on a British Naval ship with a Midshipman who was being spreadeagled for a crime - I seem to remember that he didn't believe the punishment was just - so he runs away the next time the ship is in port, and hides out at a farm with a little girl who lives with I think her grandparents. There is an elderly parson involved which is a common motif in her books, and an incident with a mandrake root that the girl was afraid of. That's all I can remember. If anyone can remember, please contact me on my Talk page. Thanks Ammi 15:37, 14 March 2006 (UTC)-

[edit] Children's books

I have introduced a division for children's books - my source is [1]. Some of these books are sometimes classed as adult fiction by libraries. I've moved Sister of the Angels here - I think the children's book aspect is more important than the Torminster one. Robina Fox 11:23, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
