This is a beautifully illustrated book and the stories are quietly magical. I bought it for a child but when it arrived I began reading one of the stories to see if it was suitable. It was so lovely I decided to wait until I had more time to really take it in. The past two nights it has been my bedtime reading. This book is a healing balm for soul. P.S. It arrived within a week of purchase, and in minimal paper packaging which also eases the soul.
