Before I put the book away until next Christmas, some very belated brief remarks.
Quote:
The whole description of the goblin hosts pouring up the reindeer-drive and surrounding the Cliff House, and especially the blasts on the great horn "Windbeam" makes me think of Helm's Deep. The link to the Alison Uttley books was interesting. The pictures on the book covers remind me a bit of Beatrix Potter.
