The Serial Garden: The Complete Armitage Family Stories by Joan AikenMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
Collection of stories about British family and the assorted magical exploits of the children. Cheerful and simple, with a charming quotidian feel. Like, "get off the unicorn and come eat your soup," kind of thing. Written over the course of fifty years, and it shows – the stories get more complicated and less 1950's strict gender roles as you go.
