Just finished rereading The Silver Crown by Robert C O’ Brien, which I first read in 1979-80. Can’t make up my mind whether to review it or not, since I’m way more interested in how the symbolism influenced my moral choices at the time. Turns out it’s the missing link I didn’t know I was looking for and I know myself even better now than I did in 2020 …
Go on, try it. Reread that book that’s been bugging you for years (the more obscure and forgotten the better). You never know what treasures you might find.
