Customer Reviews

A Classic!

I read this story back in grade 4, and I never forgot how magical it was. Now, at the age of 19, I finally received it as a Christmas present from my sister. This story is by far one of the most magical stories I have ever read. It was fantastic, and completely unforgettable.

UNFORGETABLE!!!

I read this book when I was 10 years old and the story was unbelievable! It is a book that when you are finished you are sad because you feel that you have left something behind. The story was so vivid that it was burned into my memory, though unfortunately there must not have been enough room for the title. I have spent many years trying to remember the name of the book so I could buy it for my daughter who is now 10 years old. I would recommend this book to all, young and old alike.

A Must Read

I remember when I was in grade five and six my teacher read this book to my class at the end of the year for fun, (because obviously there wasn't much left to do). And like many of the other reviewers I remember it and have been looking for it for a very long time. I think its a wonderful book for children of any age. There is an adventurous nature mixed in with the fantasy, which makes it light and humorous if you are an adult, enthralling if you are a young child, and quite intriguing and conversation provoking when you are in or around your teens. Definitely a must have book for people of any age!

The most amazing children's book...

My mother read this book to me when I was a little girl and I loved it! There's a spectacular sense of adventure and imagination that challenges the reader to become involved with the characters. Out of the thousands of books I read as a young child, it was one of my favorites. I read it so often that my old copy is battered and missing a few pages. I've been searching for a new copy for years!
