I read this book when I was about 10 yrs old. It was my favorite book as a child. I carried it around with me everywhere! I still have it to this day! I remember while reading it I felt like I was transfered to a different world. I felt like I was right there in the story with the characters. It's what made me fall in love with reading. So this book will always have a special place in my heart! ❤️
The sequel, Wise Child, has been a favourite of mine ever since I first read it as a child. Maybe even shaped me a little. I can't give this prequel to that book anything else but 5 stars. It's magical, warm and satisfying, and maybe even better to read as an adult.
