Tilly and the Lost Fairytales
by Anna James
I feel like I need to take a good five minutes to just talk about how stunning this naked hardcover is. I don't think I have ever enjoyed a naked cover as much as I have with this series. If you're going to pick up a book based purely on the cover then it's going to be this one because it is just stunning. Seriously. Just go and look at it. Also - the illustrations within the book are just as amazing... seriously go look at them!!
I am so glad to finally be back with Tilly and Oskar and the book wandering. This series is just so delightful and makes me wish I could sink into the pages just as Tilly does and meet some of my favourite characters. Anna just brings the world completely to life and you feel like you're there with them traipsing around the book shops and falling into the pages of books and going on adventures.
I enjoyed this more than the first one and I feel that as the story goes on it just gets better; you become more immersed in the plot, the world, the characters and it is just enjoyable. I would honestly recommend this to anyone of all ages. Anna is brilliant at building the world around you and slotting in some of your favourite fairytale characters with a slight twist; Red Riding Hood who takes an axe to the wolf, and Rapunzel who isn't about to let some weird men climb her hair. I loved Rapunzel, honestly she just stood out in this book so much for me, she was such a delight!
I love Oskar and Tilly's relationship and love that he is a book wanderer too! It makes perfect sense with what happened in the first book and I just love how the relationship develops and cements with them.
I am a bit concerned about how gullible some of the adults are in this world... but they do say kids have the best imagination.
Already pre-ordered the next one!! READ THIS.
