What an absolute charmer of a book. There were lots of differences from the movie, which is a perennial favourite, but I loved this just as much. It was softer somehow, and even more uplifting. It explained a lot that the movie didn’t manage to, and that I had always wondered about. It was a quick, warm read, and I’ll definitely be revisiting it.
