This was a charming story filled with all kinds of interesting creatures and has quite a few wonderful illustrations that make the book all the more wonderful. It's filled with adventure for the main character, Twig, as well as some sad points. I thinks it's a great read for young and old alike.
My boss was doing a clean-out of her kid's books & I inherited these ... great! The stories are fun, quick moving, and the plot links along the books. I absolutely love the drawings - they are like old etchings, with a dash of weirdo faeries & Dr. Seuss-like contraptions. Maybe a little too non-disney with the abrupt deaths and tragedy now & again, if your smallfry don't like their stories with gritty bits. But I enjoyed them!
I LOVE THIS BOOK!!!!! It has a wonderful story line! I like the way that they write it. Just absolutely love it!!!!
