Requiem for a Princess

Ruth M. Arthur was a forgotten children’s writer for the ‘70s.  I read three of her books a few years ago.  I’m going to reread them. I remember that my favorite was easily A Candle in her room.  However, I like this one too.  It’s cute.  It’s about a piano prodigy who finds out that she’s adopted.  She sees a portrait of this 16th-century girl named Isabel, who was orphaned and an adopted child too.  The girl starts to have dreams of Isabel.  Because of the dreams, she is able to cope better with the problems in her life.  Since Arthur’s books are out of print they can be pricey.  Do what I do and get them on interlibrary loan.
