![]() ![]() I can honestly and heartily recommend it to everyone. I want to ask this book where it's been all my life. My "adult reader" side loved JAE's writing style. My "adoptive mother" side was moved in finding a lovable orphan discover her forever home. The "young girl" reader in me liked the imagination JAE used in building a secret cottage for Mandy to find and take dominion of. I liked this story from several reading personalities. In her searching, she finally finds a home. This story is about a young orphan girl named Mandy who searches for a place of her own. In reading this book you can practically hear Julie Andrew's voice, stately and elegant, describing this charming world. Contrary to Cornelia and the Audacious Escapades of the Somerset Sisters, JAE uses large vocabulary words and trusts her audience (young OR old) to know what she means. As I was browsing through Borders bookstore the other day I stumbled on a copy of Mandy and snatched it up right quick. In poking around online I discovered that Julie Andrews Edwards has not only written - but written quite a bit! Then, lo and behold, Jennifer from Snapshot posted her review of Mandy and, well, I was too curious. Then I saw an autobiography pop up (which I desperately want to read, btw). Up until recently I didn't realize that Julie Andrews (Edwards) had written anything at all. ![]() Chronicles of Narnia Reading Challenge (74). ![]()
