This book is one of the cutest, sweetest, and may I say quaintest, novels I've ever read. It's positively heart warming and even the not-so-nice characters strike a loveable chord in my heart.

I treasured this book. Even when I got way past the age of needing to be read to my mother would still read with me. And the rich, intricately woven imaginative fabric of this book sucks you in immediately. I love Anne's imaginative wanderings.
