Rezensionen
Oh, this book is just exquisite. It's my favourite book of the year so far! It's like being wrapped up in a warm blanket of love while drinking a mug of something hot and a comforting apple pie [...] I cannot wait for my daughter to read this book because I know she will adore it too. A squillion stars for this one! Mini Travellers Blog
