Once upon a time, i received the most enthusiastic book recommendation of my life for a classic children's fantasy series i'd never heard of. Review to come / 3 stars (but in a good way) I'm a good sister.)īottom line: Not the book's fault I'm not the target audience - and this was still a delight. (Being the eldest child and constantly trying to be cooler than I am, I spent my entire adolescence training myself to hate kids' movies and TV shows and books, just to ruin my younger siblings' time. And even when the children's content is good, I have a weird vendetta against it. Unfortunately, because I never read it as a kid, I didn't have any of that nostalgia coursing through my veins, so I was just a 23 year old reading a children's book for the first time. I believe this book genuinely is magic, for two reasons:ġ) It came into my life as if propelled by the power of the universe itself.Ģ) It is a children's book from the 1950s (!!!) that condemns colonialism (!!!!!) and has cool, powerful female characters.
