Customer Reviews

Fantasy can be fun

I just got the book, and I can't put it down. Its great. My mom's boss gave it to me and when I saw the cover I knew it would be a great book. I realy enjoy fantasy tales, and I recommend this one.

A terrific book!

Full of whimsy and beauty Herrick takes us with her to a quirky and fantasy-filled world. While dealing with "real" issues such as family, madness and death, she maintains a childlike sense of wonder and openess to the magical things all around us. Very satisfying - and a lovely ending as well!

Pure poetry

This book sings. Pure poetry with a twisted smile. I want more of Amy Herrick.
