A very lovely edition of an out of an print writer, Monica Dickens. It's a coming of age story of a young girl that is mostly forgettable and belongs in a certain time and place. Not bad, just filler. When I was young I had read her children's books about a hippyish family with lots of animals . I think they were called World's End. They had a monkey and the enviable absent parents that all great children's literature needs. No hippies and no monkeys in Mariana. She could have used them.
