    Here Connolly steps directly into the enchanted forest, and the journey along its twisting path is as sinister and unsettling as anything invented by the Brothers Grimm . . . Connolly's control of this material is superb; tension, terror and gallows humour make the book a gripping read. But this allegorical coming-of-age story also cleverly shows the way that traditional stories have been used to reflect the sometimes harsh concerns of our world. (Eithne Farry)
    It's imaginative, funny, sad and profound - fairy tales within a fairy tale, a child's adventure, a fantasy journey; it's about growing old and has the last word on dying . . . Each re-reading still brings a sigh and a moment of reflection.
    A moving fable, brilliantly imagined, about the agony of loss and the pain of young adulthood.
    Connolly imagines the emotional cave-in of puberty intelligently, even perceptively
    Engaging, magical, thoughtful read
    A new interpretation of old fairy tales, it is imaginative and beautifully written.
    This is no saccharine fairytale, but an eerie fable that's perfect for long winter nights

    What brought me to this book I had never heard of is Miyazaki’s “The boy and the heron”; somewhere, someone mentioned it as one of the inspiration for the movie, and indeed, I can see it. Themes of the significance of the loss of a parent for a child, death, the afterlife, travelling in hell, coming of age and accepting and living life as it is.
    Warning : the story is FULL of very vivid and cruel events, ie : offspring devouring their mother as they are born… I wouldn’t put this book in the hands of most children.
    Paradoxically, I was often reminded of CS Lewis’ Narnia, up to the last sentence ; the story uses allegory, but also a very moving longing. It also uses the retelling of traditional fairytales, with enlightening dark humour (humour?). The construction of the story makes it interesting to read/listen to again – contemplating it from a more informed viewpoint, which I definitely will do.
    I really enjoyed the voice and interpretation of Nick Rawlinson.

    Glad I found this book !
