Not quite what I expected, January 6, 2009
This review is from: A Knock at the Door - Book with bonus DVD (Hardcover)
I really LOVE the artwork in this book, and the message.
I had seen the you-tube version and I wanted it.
I got the 2009 calendar as well. (The calendar is a little pricey, but beautiful and big.)
I guess I didn't realize 1) How small it would be (just a little bigger than a DVD); and, 2) That there is nothing more to it than the you-tube version. No more of a story or anything.., just BEAUTIFUL artwork and nice little fantasy pictures.
I know it says the size.., but up close and personal it just loses a lot in this tiny version.
If I would have known, I would have only bought a really big version, like a 10x10 or larger.., for a coffee table book. But I do LOVE the artwork and the whimsy.., it just wasn't quite what I was expecting.
I like that it came with the DVD, that does make it worth the price, and I think it makes an excellent gift for anyone who likes this type of artwork.

A Treasure of Inspiration, August 20, 2008
This review is from: A Knock at the Door - Book with bonus DVD (Hardcover)
I stumbled across this film on the net years ago and was simply taken by it. It is truly magical. I always wanted to own it and watch it on something other than a computer screen. The music, artwork and message are top notch. It seems to dig down deep and finds that little bit of wonder you had as a kid and turns it on again. Nothing mystical or religious in the message, just inspiration with the whimsy of fairy tales. It's not long at all, just a few minutes, but it is a beautiful creation. I think you will enjoy it. The publishers own the Duirwaigh Gallery (Duirwaigh is Gaelic for Doorway). The film originally was called "A Knock on the Duir", which I liked being from Celtic origins. Enjoy!

Book is a bit small in size, January 11, 2009
This review is from: A Knock at the Door - Book with bonus DVD (Hardcover)
I really liked the online movie of this so I wanted to share it with my step daughter. I was a little disappointed in the size of the book as I expected it to be regular picture book size. It is small but still a nice and inspiring present. The pictures are a bit different from the online movie but I was aware of that before purchasing it. The dvd is a nice bonus.
