Adorable and utterly charming. Once More Upon a Time is a must read (or listen, which I highly recommend the audiobook) for any lover of Disney, fairytales, or stories like that of The Tenth Kingdom. A delightful novella full of humor and lessons in the true nature of love and friendship.

Well this was absolutely delightful. I felt like a child reading a humorous fairytale-gone-wrong. Short and sweet! Give it a try if you enjoy fairytale retelling and witty couples.

The latter half reminded me of the movie Ella Enchanted where Ella and Char go through their adventure having many brief encounters with interesting people and almost dying again and again.

And in the end, it all works out like it should.
