5.0 out of 5 stars A beautiful children's book, 13 Sep 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: The King of Capri (Hardcover)
I bought this beautifully written children's book for my niece, who enjoyed it very much. It holds all of the poetic charm Winterson displays in her writing for adults, within a beautiful moral story.

With it's gorgeous graphics and strong hardback it makes a perfect present for a child who is just learning about the joys of reading.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful and beautifully illustrated, 1 Jun 2006
I bought this book for my 5-year old daughter because I am a great fan of Jeanette Winterson's writing.

The King of Capri was everything I hoped it would be. We have read it many times, and the timeless reversal of fortune tale, told cleverly with gentle humour, never ceases to put a smile on our faces at bedtime. Beautifully illustrated too - what a bonus. We especially like the Italian-speaking cat(!) and the sweetly happy ending.

One of our favourites.

By Jane R (London, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The King of Capri (Hardcover)
The story brings a smile to my soul and the sumptuous illustrations fill me with glee. Totally agree with all these other reviews. Love this book and savour reading it aloud to the kids... over and over.

This is a delightfully whimsical book, and beautifully observed. It has a rare and wonderful quality: it shows compassion for all, including the "baddie"--a greedy, selfish... Read more
