Have to say that my first reaction to a Little Princess sequel was a slightly bemused one, but that had long been put behind in trust that a Hilary McKay A Little Princess sequel would be wonderful.

Which rejoicing stopped as soon as I started trying to pack my bag, and realised there was no way I'd be able to bring it. After some time and searching, I found it and carried it home with great rejoicing. It was due to be published the 3rd of September, but I noticed it was shipping from Amazon (UK) before going away to Cornwall with steepholm, so checked the 3 bookshops nearby(ish) the day before (one by phone inquiry). This nearly broke my heart even before reading, as I've been waiting for it for what seems like ever. It's Hilary McKay's Wishing for Tomorrow, not an update on my emotional state.
