### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    One of Sally's Best
  

*by J***T on Reviewed in the United States on June 2, 2020*

This is the first Sally Watson book I read, I think--I have read all her books published during the 1960s and 1970s. (I have also read some of her later self-published books, and they are almost uniformly a terrible disappointment after her fantastic early work.) Linnet is remarkable for the relationship between Linnet and Colley, the "upright man" of the London underworld who woos, drugs, and abducts her. Colley is an amazing creation--a controlling, seductive manipulator who the strong-minded Linnet manages to foil through sheer pigheadedness. The setting--a pickpocketing school in Elizabethan London, set against aristocrats concocting Papist plots targeting the Queen herself--is rich and detailed, deliciously romanticized. There is a smoldering quality to Watson's work, a vein of almost Brontean not-quite-suppressed sexuality, which shocks me a little as an adult--it shocks me that it is still as powerful now as it was when I first read her books in sixth grade. To me, Linnet is the book that embodies that quality most overtly, which may be why it's always been my favorite. And yet --- good clean fun for all that!

    Excellent Read!
  

*by C***R on Reviewed in the United States on August 3, 2017*

I first read this book when I was in my teens. Once I started reading it, I couldn't put it down till I found out what became of Linnet. It taught me a few Shakespearean words & phrases as well. It isn't dull like a lot of historical novels. Since my first time reading it, I've loved it!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Elizabethan Hi-jinks!
  

*by T***G on Reviewed in the United States on June 23, 2000*

This was one of my favorite books when I was a girl. Sally Watson has a flair for creating characters young people can identify with and young girls particularly can like. In _Linnet_, Watson creates a well-born  Elizabethan girl who gets herself into trouble (and discovers a plot  against the queen!) by being independent and spunky. Of course,  independence, spunk, and intelligence are also what help save her. A  wonderful look at the social classes of the times, a little of the  political games, and lots and lots of fun! A great book for girls aged  9-12. Ranks up there with _Mara, Daughter of the Nile_ and _Forgotten  Daughter_.
