Winter over Ludlow Castle.

For this is the rock that for all time man defends,
The rock of his soul against which all evil spends
Its fury in vain in the warfare that never ends.

And these the embattled walls that the heroes trod,
Swift-winged with flame, their feet with the gospel shod,
For this is the house of all life, the house of God
(The Castle Elizabeth Goudge)

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you all.

Reaching Out, this year’s Christmas article, is part of a correspondence between Elizabeth and the Vasquez family from Spain. The letters tell the story of two artists, who helped each other to come to terms with the political and moral ramifications of their times and who also led vastly different lives. They make compelling reading.

This site is being set up and run with the help and cooperation of some of the people who have grown to love the talented shy author of a collection of literary gems, most of which go unnoticed by the mass of society today. This she would accept with a humble gratitude, content with the success she achieved in her lifetime.

“This site has been established with the support of the Trustees of Elizabeth’s Estate.  The content of the site is, however, the sole responsibility of its contributors.”  Mark Dutton.

I hope that this site will to a large extent, be fan based and led.  Let me have any ideas that you have about what you would like to see on this site.
