The Carver and the Queen by Emma C. Fox, Emma C. Fox

5.0

Whimsical, magical and heartfelt, this story just captured my heart and imagination. It's the kind of book that leaves you feeling warm and fuzzy and somewhere else (Imperial Russia in this case!). 'The Carver and the Queen' managed to capture that timeless fairytale/folklore feel that I associate with reading the original Grimm and Andersen fairytales for the first time as a girl. It has that strange enchantment that makes you smile and cry and think and dream all at once and that stays in your mind long after you've finished reading. Definitely a new favourite!
