A review by emperorcupcake
Afternoon of the Elves by Janet Taylor Lisle

3.75

Another strange vintage middle grade (like Tuppenny) that so perfectly captures that off-kilter feeling of childhood we forget as soon as we grow up. This book doesn't give you any satisfying answers, yet I was completely satisfied with it. It was weirdly unsettling, with a nice hint of magic that may or may not have been real. This would have been a better fall read than summer, with the little leaf-roof houses, but a good read for any time. I am really feeling these weird vintage kids' paperbacks right now, so thanks little free libraries for providing them!
