Once on a Time by A.A. Milne
2.0
Okay so the long story about how I got this book was already posted before but I love how I got my hands on classic books without having to pay a single penny (since I'm very broke that makes things so easy). I don't know many second hand stores in my home town so it's difficult to find but I've got some and this is another classic book from the same writer as Winnie the Pooh.
I must say the book was alright, it was not very interesting story wise, it was very nicely written though and putting that all together gives a mixture of it was okay. I like the way it's writing, putting in notes from the author whom wrote the book and how he got to the point and how another author that wrote the information was mentioned. Nicely done. Shame that already in the beginning it is said that Belvane is the evil b-witch. But in the end she was quite alright as soon as she got to be Queen I assume, or at least that's what Hyacinth said more or less.
I don't think I will read it again but it was definitely worth my time for the first time. I wouldn't mind reading more from Milne, but first need to get my hands on his books. I would say it was just a basic fairy tale story but with other inputs and the way of writing made it difficult but princess marries lover and they live happily ever after, tada done.
