It would probably only have been four stars if this story hadn't been so full of nostalgia and childhood for me. I could imagine that you would have to have read/listened to it as a child (for the first time) to like it now as much as I do and adults would find it a little harder to get into the magic. The more old-fashioned language is lovely, but certainly takes some getting used to. Unfortunately, there are also clichés and words that are no longer in accordance with the modern times.
