I just posted what I want to nominate for Yuletide, and I suddenly remembered something I would dearly get. I’ve never met anyone who has read it. It was one of my Mum’s childhood books and I have loved it since I was nine. Elizabeth of the Garrett Theatre by Gwendoline Courtney. Originally published as Stepmother in, I think, 1948 and also as Those Verney Girls. It’s very high on my list of comfort reads.

It’s about four sisters, aged nine to seventeen who has a blissful childhood in the countryside with their father, who is an author. Their whole life gets turned upside down when their father suddenly remarries and they decide to hate their stepmother with a passion, though they have no idea what kind of person she actually is. It’s a funny and charming book, the sister all have their individual characters and I’d love to have fic about them.
