Madam, Will You Talk and Airs Above the Ground are my first go-to’s when I need a Stewart fix, but you can’t go wrong with hardly any of the pre-Merlin books. And it’s pure Disney fluff, but with Haley Mills.

The movie has just about nothing in common with the book other than the title and setting. Stewart was the reason I expanded my reading from mysteries to gothics and eventually Georgette Heyer. I read The Moon-Spinners when I was in 5th grade and was hooked. The collection also includes Wind off the Small Isles, which I don’t think was ever released here, so a new Stewart for me to read. This is AFAIK, the first time they’ve been available in digital in the US.And I’ve been looking for them for years, because my 50YO paperbacks are falling to pieces. Her later romantic suspense–post Touch Not the Cat–seemed a little bland to me, but the rest of it was golden.ĭo read the rest of the comments for more recommendations, and please let us know which books the Bitchery should be during this awesome Mary Stewart sale!īTW, the e-books are also available at B&N and Kobo. Personally, I favor This Rough Magic and back in the day, when I first read Mary Stewart, I loved Wildfire at Midnight. Gosh, I read all of these between eight and 13 years old, did not get all the sub-text and still loved them. Currently re-reading MoonSpinners, the book is better than the movie. I think my favorite might be The Ivy Tree. Really you can’t go wrong with anything Mary Stewart, though! Here are some Stewart recs from that particular comment thread.Īirs Above the Ground and The Ivy Tree are particular favorites.
