A review by freebird795
Orfeia by Joanne M. Harris
5.0
I've enjoyed all of Joanne Harris's books, but her child-ballad inspired folk tales are sublime. They're not great weighty tomes to be waded through, or complex puzzles to be deciphered; they're short, simple stories full of wonderful imagery and warming words that weave a spell on you.
I should also mention that this is probably one of the most treasured books on my bookshelves, along with Pocketful of Crows and The Blue Salt Road. They're small hardbacks with beautiful covers, amazingly illustrated, and just feel so good to hold and to read.
