So enchanting! For a fantasy story that is 100 years old, it is such a delight.
A dreamy, full of heart magical tale.
A glimpse of fairyland/Elfland that transport you on a classic adventure, full of hope and sorrow.
Human nature, passing of time and religion are part of it without being at all overdone nor the center of the book.
As a non native English reader (though I read mostly in English and usually have so problem), the style might need a few chapters (short ones!) to get used to, but once it does, the story flows. It’s quite short in any case and so are each chapters.
I enjoyed the different perspectives we followed, including a troll.
Very happy I picked this up as my first read of 2023 and definitely conforts me in my goal to discover older fantasy works this year.
