The Lives of Christopher Chant, by Diana Wynne Jones

Sorry, today's book post is boring because I think I'm really rather out of things to say on the topic of this book, an old favourite I have reread countless times. Except that I noticed one minor detail this time through that never really struck me before: Millie's comment about how silver also forces Christopher to tell the truth, and as a result he's gotten rather in the habit of always telling the truth. Somehow this fact never really sunk in previously?
