The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland in a Ship of Her Own Making

Produktbeschreibung

September is a twelve-year-old girl, and she longs for adventure, so when a Green Wind and a Leopard of Little Breezes invite her to Fairyland - well, of course, she accepts. When she gets there, she finds a land crushed by the iron rule of a villainous Marquess - she soon discovers that she alone holds the key to restoring order. September forges her way through Fairyland, with a book-loving dragon and a boy named Saturday by her side losing her shadow, her shoe and her way, but finding adventure, courage, a special Spoon, and more besides. 

Kritik

A glorious balancing act between modernism and the Victorian Fairy Tale, done with heart and wisdom. Neil Gaiman
