I feel I grew up with this story, having watched an BBC dramatisation of it, and still remembering it vividly, to this day, but this was the first time I read the book. At times it was too descriptive for my liking but I had really warmed to it by the end. In fact, my heart is still glowing from it.

A timeless (pun intended) tale for children, beautifully written, mysterious and intriguing. I loved it even more reading as an adult!
Wonderful, imaginative story! Worthy of its Carnegie Medal in 1958.

It was probably amazing when it was first published, but now, it’s a fairly played out, predictable, dime-a-dozen story that I didn’t much care for.
