Tis possible this is getting a 5 rating purely for the nostalgia of it. I picked this book up to fulfill “reread of a childhood fave” bingo prompt, and boy was this. You can tell by the wear that it was well cared for but read many times. It was likely what got me to enjoy reading and to enjoy fantasy.

As an adult I will say, the idea behind this book is great. Really I’ve never seen something else like it: a story book character’s life and adventure from within her own book and into the mind and dreams of the book’s Reader.
