Spoiler
we come back around to the narrator in the present day, where it is revealed just how much of this childhood magic has faded to time, how much of his perspective on the world has shifted.All in all, I love this book for its masterful balance of fairytale whimsy, and thoughtful meditation on memories and growing up.
Moderate: Suicide and Body horror
