of the fairy tales and adventure stories of childhood, yet it is interesting enough to hold the attention of an adult. Despite already knowing the general storyline, I found I was unable to tear my eyes from the pages of this book. I didn't even put it down for meals! I would love to obtain a copy of this story for my permanent collection, and I would highly recommend it to everyone.
