This was a rather interesting collection of cute little stories suitable for children of all ages. They are delightfully written as bedtime stories that the author created for her own children, and decided to record them on the written page and share them with the world. There are about half a dozen stories in this little collection and they are short and easy to read and retell, and even held the attention of my 3 year old. I really enjoyed reading these stories with my children. There were a few minor little things editing wise that resonated, but as I did not know if this was the finished version going to print, I did not weigh that in my rating. I am glad I got to read these. My children especially enjoyed the stories about the Dark and the Three Princes, and cited those as their favorites. I was predisposed to be charmed by these stories. Look at the cover artwork with the tiny princess having tea with the dragon! Look at all the story titles about grumpy dragons and precious things! The stories themselves feel traditional and modern all at the same time, and Price's hand on the writing is sure and smooth and fun. Five-year-old me would have demanded this book be read to her every night at bedtime. Ten-year-old me would have pulled this out concurrently with volumes of Brothers Grimm and other folklores and sincerely try to read all of them at the same time. Seventeen-year-old me would have stumbled upon this while reorganizing her bookshelves with a Huh, I remember this. and spent the next 30 minutes rereading it without a trace of shame. Thirty—odd-year-old me was enchanted. Five stars. An ARC of this book was provided to me by the author through the Librarything Member Giveaway Program. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
