EG The World of Elizabeth Goudge by Sylvia Gower

£13.00

The World of Elizabeth Goudge was privately published by the late Sylvia Gower in 2001. We are delighted to have published a new edition in 2020. This was reprinted in 2021, 2023 and 2025. The 2025 edition was updated to take into account the various changes since 2023.

Sylvia Gower wrote about Elizabeth Goudge’s life and writing, and shared her experience of visiting the locations which inspired the settings in her books – for instance, Wells which became the fictional Torminster. SG also explored “the reasons for their success and evergreen appeal for today’s readers”. Since 2001, many of EG’s books have remained consistently in print. 

Thanks to the help of many people we were able to add many more illustrations to The World of Elizabeth Goudge, including those of both places and dustwrappers. The text has also been thoroughly checked, and corrections have been made to book titles etc. 

This is a book to be enjoyed by those who love EG’s books, and those who have never read them, or don’t like them!

The World of Elizabeth Goudge was re-published on 7th October 2021, and the latest reprint on 1 July 2025.
