What a delightful fairy tale! This was such a joy to read. I loved the mix of characters. There is a perfectly tiny dragon who truly believes he is simply enormous, a good witch with a heart of gold who rescues babies left in the woods to die, a poetry loving swamp monster, and so many other characters both unique and interesting.

 

As a child I know I would have adored this book and read it over and over. I would recommend this book to young, old and everyone in between who enjoys a captivating fairy tale filled to the brim with stardust, whimsy, moonbeams, and all things enchanting.
