Here are the occasional reflections of a joyful traveller along the strange pathways of fantasy and adventure. All my reviews are independent and unsolicited. I read many books that I don’t feel sufficiently enthusiastic about to review at all. Rather, this blog is intended as a celebration of the more interesting books I stumble across on my meandering reading journey, and of the important, life-affirming experiences they offer. It is but a very small thank you for the wonderful gifts their writers give.

The Witch’s Boy by Kelly Barnhill




It’s great to see a new UK paperback edition of a hugely enjoyable earlier novel from the brilliant US children’s author, Kelly Barnhill. Don’t miss this chance to catch up with it. (See my review from  January ‘15.)
