5.0 out of 5 stars excellent, timely, needs to be reissued, November 8, 1999

This review is from: The Diddakoi (Audio Cassette)

I first read the diddakoi as an adult and reccommend it highly to any reader who insists on good writing. The message is important NOW, especially with current emphasis on teaching tolerance to young people and learning to control feelings of anger, hate, and prejudice. It is such a charming story.

5.0 out of 5 stars An amazing book about unconditional love, May 19, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Diddakoi (Hardcover)

It is with great sadness that I see my favorite book of all time out of print. I wanted to give it as a gift to all my nieces as they enter school. This is a wonderful story of overcoming being different and how cruel and loving human spirit can be. The people who love the little gypsy girl all come together and make a family proving that family is not just blood, but love. The most heartwarming story of my reading. Again, please someone reprint this moving story

5.0 out of 5 stars More than just a story -- a talisman, April 15, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Diddakoi (Hardcover)

Like the other reviewer, The Diddakoi has been my favorite book well into adulthood. And, like other great children's literature can, it truly did help form my ideas of right and wrong, of who I wanted (and didn't want) to be, and gave me insight into the realities and the joys of human nature. Reprint it, somebody!
