This is not an ordinary book: it's a BookCrossing book! BookCrossing books are world travelers - they like to have adventures and make new friends...and with your help, they can even write home to say what they've been doing! (You may remain anonymous if you wish.)

BookCrossing: making the whole world a library!

This arrived in the mail today. Thank you! I can’t wait to read it.

I think I got an idea in my head of what this book might be like based on a novel I read years ago called "The True Story of Hansel & Gretl" which was a book on the Holocaust. It wasn't by this same author, but I got it into my head that this book would be similar to that one using a different fairy tale. But, I was wrong.

This book was okay, but not quite what I was hoping for.
Sending on to innae as a wishlist tag. Enjoy!

Yay books! I have been looking forward to this. Thank you mrsjones

This retelling of sorts is just beautiful. At times it felt much more like a memoir - like a tale of someone searching her past, but we are reminded that it is not. It is not a fairytale. It is not history. It IS a beautiful told story, with an ending as it needed to be.

Congratulations!! You have found a rare and unique gift, a travelling book!!


While it is possible I have read and given my thoughts on this book, it is more likely it is a book I found/purchased specifically to send out into the world! In either case, please read what has been said before, where has this book been, who enjoyed it, who didn't -- and perhaps, if you care to, you can add your two cents!


You do not have to join bookcrossing to pick up, enjoy, and journal a book -- however, if you do decide to join us, please consider using me (innae) as your recommending friend, and if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to drop me a personal message (for more info, check out the FAQ).


And again, thank you for saving this book from a life of boredom!
