Title: What a Treat to See How Many Love this Book
Review: I "borrowed" my old Weekly Reader Book Club copy of David and the Phoenix from my parents' library a couple of years ago. Like many of the other reader/reviewers here, I first read it around 1958 and was transported. But after repossessing it this time, I never actually picked it up to reread it. Until last night. I had finished a monster novel I love for the third time, and wasn't going to sleep, so I turned to this one. Pretty certain and nearly afraid that it couldn't possibly be as wonderful as I remembered it being. AND IT IS! What struck me particularly was how elegant the prose is. Nothing fancy, but clear and intelligent. Three chapters in, and still not sleeping I went on the web to see if anyone else cared about David and the Phoenix. Boy did I get my answer! Sweeter than sugar cookies.
