Haven't read this for oh so long, it was like reading it for the first time. Apart from the very occasional 19th century racism, it was delightful and my child and both loved it. The illustrations by Inga Moore were enchanting.
Po ponownym przeczytaniu (2022): tak samo mi się ją dobrze czytało jak kiedyś. Ciekawie też było przypominać sobie historię gdy widziałam już tyle wersji filmów z różnie przekręconą, zmienioną fabułą. Pierwowzór jak zawsze jednak najlepszy. Chwyta za serce i wywołuje uśmiech. Jedynie wiara w tą magię była trochę naiwna ale w sumie to pasujące zachowanie dla dzieci.

Je ne vais pas commencer à parler de ce livre dans les détails.
Il faut savoir que le film (1993) a baigné mon enfance, et je le regardais tout le temps !!!
Je n'ai lu le livre que bien plus tard. Et forcément, avec des yeux d'adulte...
Je SAIS que il y a des choses pas correctes, pas expliquées. Que c'est un livre destiné aux enfants, et que donc, ça devrait être fait..
Mais je sais aussi que malgré ça, j'aime ce livre, j'aime cette histoire.
C'est important de savoir ouvrir les yeux sur ce genre de sujet, d'en parler. Et c'est important de pouvoir quand même aimer. Tout en étant conscient des choses, et en prévenant les autres.
Surtout les plus jeunes lecteur.rices !

I'm not going to start talking about this book in detail.
You should know that the film (1993) bathed my childhood, and I watched it all the time !!!
I didn't read the book until much later. And of course, with adult eyes ...
I KNOW that there are things that are not correct, not explained. That this is a children's book, and therefore, it should be done.
But I also know that despite that, I love this book, I love this story.
It is important to know how to open your eyes to this kind of subject, to talk about it. And it's important to be able to love anyway. While being aware of things, and warning others.
Especially the youngest readers !
