This was a charming children's book. Both the story and illustrations took me back to my childhood. I appreciated the explanations of unfamiliar concepts at the back rather than trying to force them into the story proper. I'd recommend it to kids of medievalist friends, and anyone who likes kids books.

i is great book it has lots of exciting moments inside the book and i recommend this book to people who like to read fiction.

This is a breezy, fun read along the lines of Diana Wynne Jones (alternate universes). More details and complexity would have given the book more depth and staying power.
