'This is a wonderfully unclassifiable story,' says The Times of The Moon in the Cloud. I hear the publishers sighing! 'Deserves to be a best-seller' says the same paper of The Shadow on the Sun. 'Compellingly readable', says another review. I'm not even sure that the books' ideas about religion are subversive. As another reviewer points out, other narrative strands are 'blended perfectly with the Old Testament simplicity which describes the Lord God's grumbles, as well as his instructions to the faithful Noah (himself rather the Noah of the Mystery plays).Paul Mayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09499442738041701791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7780182174577095197.post-86034872353561209512021-10-08T10:44:25.575+01:002021-10-08T10:44:25.575+01:00Another interesting post.

I do enjoy this Carnegie Reading series, Paul. <br /><br />The book does sound delightful, but probably hard for teachers to categorise too. <br />Also, was it, away from the Carnegie panel, a time for amusing fun or subversive ideas about religion??<br /><br />I looked Rosemary Harris up to see what other titles she'd written, and discovered that she was the daughter of "Bomber" Harris.
