Out of print!

I read avidly as a young girl-- "devoured" books as fast as I could-- and this was one I read over and over again. I remember checking it out of my school's library from 4th to 6th grade-- my name practically filled the sign-out slip. I would love to purchase this for my kids, but I learn today it is out of print! What a sad day!

You have to read this book!

I am 37 years old, and I read this book over and over many times. My older sister, who was not much of a book lover, got me hooked on it. She actually read it more than once too, and she never enjoyed to read books! I wanted to curl up with a book on a velvet window seat just like Robin (the lead character).

One Girl's Adventure Will Carry Us

I read The Velvet Room years ago, and lived out the adventures in the big stone house, in the velvet room, and in Bridget's garden. Returning recently to my mother's house, I needed some reading material for the plane ride home, and took this with me. I was entranced once again. To have your own special place to hide, to read, to have an adventure...a dream come true. As the excitement built up toward the end, I found myself riveted and couldn't put the book down.

The Velvet Room - my favorite book

This book was my very favorite, first read ages ago when I was 11 or 12. I related to the main character since I was a member of large family that struggled somewhat to make ends meet. This book validated the feelings I had, needs for privacy, comfort, and an outlet for the imagination. It also teaches a valuable lesson about the importance of family, and finding satisfaction within one's situation in life. I think of this book as a timeless classic, to provide enjoyment and inspiration to every generation.

Read this book as a teenager

I read this book as a teenager after having read Below the Root. I could relate to the girl and her need to escape to the velvet room to read. Zilpha makes this world come alive. As you read, you experience everything with the girl. I cannot recommend this book enough to readers of all ages. It is a favorite!
