This is one of those books I am so grateful to have read as a child, because I get to nostalgically revisit it and remember all the wonderful things about it - while discovering new reasons to love it. I was never clear on the intended order of Juniper and Wise Child, but I read Juniper first and fell deeply in love with the style and the mood of this world. The descriptions are rich and colorful, the characters are believable and relatable, and the story is original and unlike anything else I've come across. The fantasy element is subdued and mature, and the writing is accessible to young readers but enjoyable to adults as well. Highly recommended.
