One of my favourite childhood stories that I revisited and forgot how much I adore it. The characters and adventures around the Thousand Islands is just joyous and revisiting it was like getting a warm hug from an old friend.

I was talking to someone about this book recently, our conversation having triggered a childhood memory of having read this book multiple times and absolutely loved it. Overcome by a wave of nostalgia I did some rooting around on the internet and found a secondhand copy. The story is as brilliantly bonkers as I remembered it - no spoilers here, but unlike some surreal fantasies, this one has a decent plot linking all the ideas together and a pleasing resolution that hints that happy ever after might still be quite exciting. Treat your inner child and get a copy today. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to make some pirate gingerbread...

This was one of my favorite books as a child and I'm pleased to say it really holds up well.
