5.0 out of 5 stars
Magical,
This review is from: The Silver Curlew (Hardcover)
I love The Silver Curlew because it is a truly magical book, and is very funny too. Poll, the ever-curious heroine, reminds me of myself when I was three years old. I am now her age, but unfortunately I, like many others, have grown out of asking 'Why?'The scene in the Witching-Wood is enough to chill you out of your very bones. The little black imp (I won't tell you his name!) is rather like the imp in the fairy-tale that mirrors this story. Every single character is memorable, even the palace servants, and Poll especially is brave and spirited, and always intelligent and curious. Charlee the Loon is an intriguing character, the flute-player who befriends the puffins. And the Queer Things in the Witching-Wood are simply too creepy to describe. The ending of this story is extremely satisfying, and it keeps you on the edge of your seat. This tale is tinged with magic all around and is a must-read for all those children-at-heart. It cannot fail to entrance you. You may laugh, cry or even realise that in the lovable characters, you see yourself. |
