Episode 7: The Witch of Blackbird Pond with Laura Rocklyn

Winner of the 1959 Newbery Medal, The Witch of Blackbird Pond is still widely read and taught in schools today. This book was also a childhood favorite of actress Laura Rocklyn, in a childhood that was filled with books and literary magic. We chat about some of that magic, including the glories of a window seat for reading, searching cupboards for Narnia, and how certain books can immediately make you feel safe and right at home. Plus, some very fun American Girl chat.
