3.5
A pleasant revisit of a childhood memory. A fascinating mix of folktales and mythologies, and certainly a different rhythm to “modern” fantasy. A fun, adventurous ride.
Children’s adventure where adults DO look after them, and gripping action combined with ye olde independence. Bess & Gunther speak in dialect which adds challenge but highly appropriate for primary with strong theme of nature of courage.
Not overtly sexist or racist.
