A woman of a certain age who has three cats underfoot, and has the dream of filling her passport with stamps. Books, classical music, tea, cats, movies, art, fancy needlework, and anything else I can think of.
A beautifully written fantasy novel with grownup emotions and actions, and one of my favourites ever since it was released back in the seventies. There was a sequel, but it is not as well-written as this one was.
