5.0 out of 5 stars For Lovers of Fairy Tales Everywhere, October 13, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: The Far-Enough Window: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups of All Ages (Paperback)

The line on the cover of this book says "A Fairy Tale for Grownups of All Ages" and that could hardly be a better description of this charming, highly imaginative novel. I read it almost in a single sitting and the whole time I was doing so I had this lovely feeling that I was a child again curled up in bed with one of my favorite stories - Lewis Carroll, perhaps, or George MacDonald, or even L. Frank Baum. Lovely illustrations too. Thank you, thank you, thank you, John Grant, for having magically transported me back into that wonderful world! I would recommend this book to anybody, from children to grandparents.

4.0 out of 5 stars A new old fantasy, April 16, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: The Far-Enough Window: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups of All Ages (Paperback)

A very good book with a lot of fun. It's a little slow at the start, but once things get moving, it become worth the wait. In fact, this was a book in which its ending justified its beginning. It's a fantasy story which reminds us that all fantasy stories do not have to be about Tolkien and such. Every review I see of this book likens it to Alice, Dorothy, and friends. While this book does touch on that type of fantasy, it also contains a contemporary view which gives it a flavor all its own -- a new old fantasy. Pick it up, read it. You won't soon forget it.

This review is from: The Far-Enough Window: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups of All Ages (Paperback)

At page 250 of this fantasy/fairy-tale novel by a prestigious British author, the main character, 17-year old Joanna says, "This is getting very confusing." That about sums up this mixed-up, hard-to-follow book about the loss and reclamation of Fairyland. Perhaps, it was more understandable to Brits? I just didn't get it or feel wowed or caused to suspend my disbelief.
