Like many other people and at the age of 11, I read The Little White Horse.\u00a0\u00a0<\/em>This was a Sunday School prize from the Anglo Catholic Church which\u00a0I attended.\u00a0 I managed to get hold of a copy of\u00a0The White Witch<\/em> and Gentian Hill, <\/em>both equally enchanting to read. I thought\u00a0I saw on the web reference to an Elizabeth Goudge Society.\u00a0 If\u00a0this is so, I would like\u00a0to receive details.<\/p>\n It seems that\u00a0there are various societies in existence for older writers – the Charlotte Younge Society for one.<\/p>\n I hope to hear from you<\/p>\n Yours sincerely,<\/p>\n Margareta Bower\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n There are three main reasons why we are not affiliated to the Literary Societies and they are as follows:-<\/p>\n The first is a question of price. It is expensive to run and maintain a Literary Society link, and although I know that there are hundreds of Elizabeth Goudge fans it would take a dedicated 300\/400 hundred paid up members to make sufficient money. It would take time and money to organise and run the membership alone.<\/p>\n The second reason is time. I am currently running the web site on my own with the technical support of my husband, and thoroughly enjoy doing so. But finding the extra time needed would at present be difficult.<\/p>\n Thirdly and most importantly, the Trustees and heirs of Elizabeth’s Estate thought that she would not have wanted the limelight and fuss of a Society. There may well come a time when it is appropriate to ask them to rethink the matter.<\/p>\n Deborah<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Like many other people and at the age of 11, I read The Little White Horse.\u00a0\u00a0This was a Sunday School prize from the Anglo Catholic Church which\u00a0I attended.\u00a0 I managed to get hold of a copy of\u00a0The White Witch and Gentian Hill, both equally enchanting to read.
