(2) 4-6 Newly titled, this is a welcome reissue of The Diddakoi. Kizzy, a half-Gypsy child who has lived her whole life in a caravan with her great-grandmother, is sent to foster care when Gran dies. While the story has a traditional happy ending, Godden is unsparing in her portrayal of intolerance in an English village and her depiction of the casual cruelty of children.
