I just wanted to mention that my library system has this book, and I enjoyed reading it. I especially enjoyed the fact that things work out for both children and it isn't just the evil manipulative one versus the good and innocent one.
Also, I was intrigued by the afterword in which Rumer Godden mentions that she inadvertently included a scene that was very similar to one in Kitty Barne's She Shall Have Music, and I am now reading reading that one, thanks to ILL. (I keep wanting to add a terminal "s" to "Barne," but it really isn't spelled that way.)
