I'm DYING to re-read it now. I did actually look for it in my local bookstore recently and they didn't have it?

BUT I love the Miyazaki film based on this novel, so that's already one indication that I'll enjoy this book. I also really like how it sounds as though Wynne Jones subverts many traditional fantasy tropes, such as the male being the vain one, the eldest daughter having the worst fortune, etc. It sounds lovely. Wonderful review!Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03052456915027241479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5734740821043177646.post-8581641994590976122013-08-28T03:46:22.641+01:002013-08-28T03:46:22.641+01:00This has been my favorite book since I was little ...This has been my favorite book since I was little and I think your review really does it justice. It's such a marvelous, magical, whimsical read! I haven't seen the movie yet, but it's on my list. Also, love this cover!
