I have mixed feelings about D.E. Stevenson, or to put it more accurately, I find her books to be all over the place. Some, like Buncle, are charming, and some are so appallingly classist/racist/imperialist as to be unendurable. To be clear, I'm not bothered by books that are of their time in terms of casual or throwaway comments, but some Stevenson books have those issues as their raison d'être.
