I enjoyed the 1952 novella "Travel Light" about an orphaned girl who loathes heroes and is beloved by Odin



I read it after reading this article by Duncan Fyfe about its rediscovery:
Travel Light gets better with distance. The more time that passes since the publication of the 1952 novel, the more likely a reader will apprehend it with wonder. The book is astonishing, but you’ve probably never heard of it. Its author, Naomi Mitchison, is even more astonishing, but you’ve probably never heard of her either. Most of all, the reader will wonder, how has this novel been out there for 70 years without having become a canonical text for every bookish child in the world?
37% off right now at Amazon, although I used the Libby app.
