This story is nothing new, or original, but in its own way it actually IS quite both of those very things. Which may sound a little odd, but so is this adorable, charming, heart-warming fairytale novella. This story was Joy with a capital J packaged in the shape of an adorable, charming, little book. I absolute adored it, and laughed out out, and even swooned a bit, and shed a few happy tears. Roshani Chokshi is one of my absolute favorite authors; her prose is so alluring, clever, & beautiful... and so very readable... so much so that I never want her stories to end. But alas, all stories do. Until next time!
