An Old Magic
9/2011 Re-read. I have loved this book forever, it seems, with its haunting Romany violin that I can almost hear as I read. Hanni's story weaves around and through the Romany people who come and go on her adopted farm, Morgan's Ground. Arthur's so good at communicating emotion and magic in a few evocative words. A wonderful story, masterfully told.4/2008 Re-read, of course. I adore stories that touch on the Romany way of life, and this one is no exception. It also has some of the spooky bits that Arthur is renowned for. It's multi-generational and most wonderful. This is one of my favorites of all of Arthur's works- it embraces the numinous and the mundane with equal fervor.
