Why I like this book
I love the wonderfully unusual idea at the heart of this story. Each visitor brings a new tale, creating a book filled with magic, humour and memorable characters, while the King’s slowing heart gives the stories a gentle sense of urgency.
Who it’s great for
- Children aged 7 to 10 who enjoy magical adventures and fairy tales
- Confident independent readers ready for a longer story
- Families looking for an imaginative book to read aloud together
