This is a 19th century children’s book, so if you like that sort of book, this is the kind of book you will like. The style is discursive and descriptive. “The good ended happily and the bad ended unhappily. That is what Fiction means,” as Oscar Wilde said, and that’s precisely how things go in this tale. Some of the descriptions are beautiful, though, and there are some mysterious characters and creatures that are unforgettable.
