I'm a fan of the compendium so when I had the chance to read a new take on the fairy tale I jumped at the chance. This title from E.D. Baker is a series that not only entertains but grows as the characters grow and make life changing choices. Add to this some magic, a great cast and of course a whole set of magical problems which overall made this a fun as well as satisfying read.
Finally add to the mix the sheer value for money on the purchase of this and it's a book that will make a cracking Christmas present as well as giving the household a little bit of peace and quiet whilst its devoured which all in, leads to cracking fun and a great way to encourage and entertain the young reader during the season of repeats.
