Well now, this might be the PERFECT book to listen to during quarantine while you're mourning the loss of your cat. It was delightful escapism at its best. If you struggle with magical creatures, you might reject it out of hand, but that would be your loss. The characters are lovely, the dialogue is witty (I snorted multiple times), and the message is about as sweet as it gets.

My sister already cast James Corden as Linus when she read it (perfect choice!). I would cast Jude Law as Arthur. And for Helen I'd go with Margo Martinburg or Kathy Bates.
