The Book


Whilst searching for a copy of this movie, I came across the book, that I'm surmising it was based on. It's available on Amazon, here's the link: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0915943921/sr=8-16/qid=1149053970/ref=sr_1_16/104-8326318-9449560?%5Fencoding=UTF8

So even if you can't find the movie, you can get the book. :D

The book version is called The Secret of the Ruby Ring, and it's quite a bit different from the movie. Instead of being almost 16, Lucy is almost 11. Instead of being a scullery maid, she is actually a nursery maid who takes care of the two children in the household. And the book takes place in Ireland, where the movie takes place in the English countryside.

While I do love the fluffiness of the movie with the whole Lucy/Robert romance, I think the book would be good also. If you like Philippa Pearce's "Tom's Midnight Garden" or L.B. Hoff's "The Sandes of Time," you'll like this book.
