Customer Reviews

Excellent Book!

A friend of a friend knew the author and recommended the book. It's out of print (???) but these used copies are a bargain. the action moves like a movie--it kept my son's attention beginning to end when I read it to him and it's one of his favorites now. Highly recommended for reading aloud. AS an artist, I thought the illustations could be better, but the stories great! I enjoyed it as much as my eight year old.

A Magical Fantasy

This brief novel is a magical tale set in the timeless realm of myth. The writing is sharp and the characters (humans, animals, and demons) are vividly drawn and memorable. The entire story moves with the drama and economy of a fairy tale...suitable for bedtime while the winter winds blow. Highly recommended. I found it by chance in a used book store and have to wonder if the first reviewer really read the book at all. Too bad there wasn't a sequel. My kids loved it and wanted more!
