The Illustrated Child by Polly Crosby

4.0

What a wonderful book. The story is about a girl immortalised in books by her father. The books are said to hold the key to a treasure and the girl’s life is stifled by the “tourists” who flock to catch a glimpse. Bit by bit the layers of the treasure are revealed. The story is layered in so many ways, dark at times, but finely detailed and ultimately rewarding. I loved it.
