The Hollow Land

The Hollow Land  / Jane Gardam, 158 p.

I can think of very few reads that serve as a better antidote to quarantine and fear than this, the story of two boys, one country and one city, who become fast friends in a sparsely-inhabited former mining area near England's Lake District.  They have adventures, meet quirky characters, and grow, all under a soft English sky.  A fantasy, an idyll - maybe.  All the better!
