Children who play together are not very curious about one another, and I simply accepted her with delight. Somehow I knew that she lived happily in a place not far away. She could come and go, it seemed, without trouble. Sometimes I found her—or she found me upon the moor; and often she appeared in my nursery in the castle. When we were together Jean Braidfute seemed to prefer that we should be alone, and was inclined to keep the under-nurse occupied in other parts of the wing I lived in. I never asked her to do this, but I was glad that it was done. Wee Elspeth was glad, too. After our first meeting she was dressed in soft blue or white, and the red stain was gone; but she was always Wee Brown Elspeth with the doelike eyes and the fair, transparent face, the very fair little face.

A lovely, lilting story set mostly in the misty highlands of Scotland... where almost anything seems possible. I loved the innocence and joy of this book, and the unique perspective on life and death. I think readers of all ages could understand and relate to it.

Racconto lungo più che un romanzo vero e proprio, ‘Le anime bianche’, dell’autrice angloamericana nota soprattutto per romanzi per ragazzi, è un esempio della produzione che, negli anni di passaggio tra ‘800 e ‘900, si è legata ai temi dello spiritualismo e della teosofia.

Frances Hodgson Burnett con questo libro ci trasporta nelle misteriose e affascinanti atmosfere dei paesaggi della Scozia.
Tra gli abeti sottili e le ginestre color dell'oro si erge il maestoso castello di Muircarrie, residenza della piccola Ysobel, la quale,

Dall'autrice di "Il piccolo lord" e "Il giardino segreto", una storia da leggere tutta d'un fiato, intrisa di fascino e mistero, di verità e illusione. Un racconto che offre molteplici spunti di riflessione su uno degli interrogativi più insoluti di sempre, quello della morte e che, allo stesso temp
