Where to Start with ELIZABETH GOUDGE + My Collection 📚 

Eeek. Stalking your older videos. 😂♥️😍✨ So glad to find another Goudge fan.

I am so overjoyed to discover that a young person is as enthralled with my favorite author as I.

It's so rare to find an author who can portray multiple sides convincingly 😍 So so thrilled that we are reading City of Bells!!

Island Magic is based on life in Guernsey, where her mother's family was from. It has a very transcendantly beautiful atmosphere.

I have not read a good Goudge in years! Time to get back into them! Thanks for reminding me.

You are so amazing in your enthusiasm about Elizabeth Goudge books. You have made me want to read her books again. I read mostly books set in England, watch English movies. Love the 1800s.

I so need to start an Elizabeth Gouge journey!

I looked for The Little White Horse for a long time...in the US and Canada...I interviewed for the perfect job and it was on the interviewers bookshelf. I got the job and the book.

It is so lovely to listen to you entbusing over Elizabeth Goudge and her books. I was introduced to them by my first High Scbool Engmish teacher who read us little 13 year okds The Little White Horse. I am so grateful to ber for helping me discover the wonderful world of Elizabeth Goudge. My very favourite is The Dean's Watch. I recently lent it to my sister who fell I love with it, and has since also borrowed The City of Bells from me. Yes, I was one of those who was asking : What about the Elliots? Those are very special books, and so full of wonderful life lessons. It's interesting to hear that the books are scarce in America, because here in South Africa, they are also difficult to find. But well worth searching for!

Hearing you talk about this has inspired me to check her out. This happens to me a lot when I hear a booktuber talk about an author they love and it makes me curious. I have an aunt that I think would like her if she read more.

Those Hodder covers look so pretty and comforting. I wish these books were easier to get.

I just found your channel and I'm so glad I did!!! Elizabeth Goudge's works always end up figuring high on my favorites lists for one reason or another, so everything you said here definitely spoke to my heart! I find myself returning to "The Scent of Water" in particular often. "But God will see it", YESSS! I think you described her work brilliantly when you say how she combines a fluffy fairy-tale feel with hard-edged truths. And oh my goodness! Those quotes from "The Dean's Watch" give me tingles of happiness! Thanks for sharing your lovely thoughts, Emma!

Hearing you get so excited talking about this author made me really interested in picking up her books especially as an author with Christian faith themes 😍

I just finished reading The Rosemary Tree with the Elizabeth Goudge Book Club on Instagram, so this video came at such a good time! Thank you Emma! I only have five full-length Elizabeth Goudge novels left to read, so I think I will plan to read the rest by the end of 2021. She wrote so many novels, which is such a gift! And they're the kind of novels that only get better with a re-read. I read The Scent of Water first, so I do love that one especially. I didn't know anything about The Rosemary Tree before I read it, so it was an unexpected delight, too. I totally agree with you that the depth of her spiritual insight into nature, place, human nature, etc. is so unique and so powerful.

I have fallen in love with Elizabeth Goudge over the last couple years and she has quickly become one of my favorite authors! Her writing is so vivid; the way she talks about nature is captivating and the way in which she talks about faith is so beautiful and real 💕 I read City of Bells last spring and I swear, I was underlining quotes on nearly every page 😂

I've made it my goal this year to read Elizabeth Goudge, and what perfect timing for me to see this video :) Funny enough I never would have known about Elizabeth Goudge had I not found your channel and heard you talk about her books! :) So thank you for introducing me to her and her lovely stories. xoKira p.s I'm actually about to order a couple of her books as a spring treat for myself.

I have a notion to make a summer project out of reading Green Dolphin Street! It sounds like a Goudge that shouldn't be rushed. You are in for such a treat with Island Magic! It might actually be my favorite Elizabeth Goudge book I've read.

I'm so glad I clicked on this vlog - I've been subscribed to your channel for years - love your WDW vids! I am just finishing my fourth "Twisted Tales" novel (Disney), and was about to search for something new ... I will 100% start with City of Bells and hopefully love Ms. Goudge as much as you (and so many others) do :-)

The only Goudge I have read is Green Dolphin Street and that was like8n 2015 or 2016. I need to try something else by her.

Can you tell me of a book by Elizabeth Goudge that has a doctor who is a hunchback. I heard of his marvelous story and would love to read that book.

I've adored The Little White Horse since I was a little girl.

Thank you so much for sharing. What are the three books in the Cathedral Trilogy? I’m a little confused on which ones they are.

I just ordered my copy of A City of Bells for the read along and then also treated myself to The Child of the Sea and I can’t wait to get them and tuck into the stories. 💕 Thanks so much for making me aware of Elizabeth Goudge and her books- it’s always so lovely to have a new author to be excited about 😊

So many good recommendations. This video looks like the start of an awesome video series.

Thank You for doing a Special Video about Elizabeth Goudge. I ordered from Amazon two of her Books and they are: Green Dolphin Street and the other book I ordered is The Scent Of Water. This was a interesting Video and I enjoyed it very much. Happy Easter ❤️ Take Care & Happy Reading ❤️🔰❤️

I need to finish the trilogy of the Elliotts! That was so good!! I am looking to see if I can get some off of ebay~ I think I would like to have the rest in real copies~ not digital.

Happy Easter. I have to check out Elizabeth Goudge. I heard about her in Kate Howe channel.

I like Willa Cather’s writings and how she ties nature and human nature. Is Elizabeth Goudge similar?

@Bookish princess So not related to this author but I thought I would give a book series recommendation I think youd like the Fairy Retold Series by Regina Doman. If you havent read them before I think diving in with first book called Shadow of the Bear.

You have inspired me to check out her books. Have you read Pilgrim’s Inn?

I’ve been wanting to read Elizabeth Goudge’s works but have never been able to find most of them. I really wanted to participate in the next readathon but, City of Bells wouldn’t arrive till after May. 😥 Has anyone else been able to order a copy?

City of Bells and The Dean’s Watch are my favorite of her novels. I haven’t read all of them yet, however. The Little White Horse was actually my least favorite! For some reason it just didn’t click with me.

Who do you recommend after reading Goudge? What author is most similar would you say? Thanks 😀

I think there's an issue with the audio since it sounds like you're miles away underwater lol, but I watched anyway 😄
