Quite a deep and moving story, I think I read it a bit too early for my daughter as there were loads of question, she didn't grasp what the story was about. The copy I have has some very nice illustrations in it.

This is one of those classic children's books that is hardly ever read, if you have kids then give it a read as it is a beautiful story and could easily become your kids favourite.

I'm going to give this a re-read soon as my youngest has yet to hear the story.
