Iceea, I'm very glad that you will enjoy this book. I really love this author, as he tells his stories, so simple and at the same time magical that I immediately want to share them with other people.
I usually use my holidays to immerse myself in the world of books, but this time I had other plans, so I read only three. On the train, I read a very nice study about the music by Tim Raybone. In the book, he easily and cheerfully tells how the musicians died and in some cases what happened to them after that. He also tells a little about musical directions and how they changed in time. All this is extremely interesting. I hope that in Russia his other books will be translated.
This year I made a promise to start reading in English, so now I read an easy version of the legends about King Arthur and the knights of the round table. Perhaps it's because of the retelling, but as a child, King Arthur seemed to me more ... smart ... a character. But anyway, it's very interesting! There are not more than a hundred pages in this book, and I will soon finish it. But a more complete collection is already coming to me. Seriously, I'm very happy, because before that I tried to read in English, but it was the Little Princess, and frankly, she was putting me into a longing. And here I can swear which characters are narrow. Sometimes.
