Patricia St John's life is a story in itself but she grew up to become one of the world's best loved Christian writers for children. When looking after thirty children in a boarding school, her exciting bedtime stories were favourites with the children. They were later to become her classic stories, Tanglewood's Secret and Treasures of the Snow. Every place that she called home was the inspiration for yet another story that brought children to understand and love the Lord Jesus Christ.

I read this aloud to my kids recently. We've read most of Patricia's books, so reading her biography was a great treat. My kids loved it and begged for more. They particularly loved hearing about the adventures Patricia had and how many of them ended up being backdrops to her wonderful children's stories. Best of all was how this biography has really planted the seed of missions in the heart of my 10-year old. Thanks to this book, we've had some amazing deep theological conversations about missions and God's will in our lives. Irene Howat has written some fantastic stories, but I think that this one will remain on the top / near the top of our All Time Favourite list. Linda Kelly
