"Peter, Enchantment and Stardust - The Poems" by William O'Brien intrigued me with its innovative concept of releasing poems from and beyond the 'Peter' series. I had already read the first book, which is the story of Peter in a magical fantasy world, so I understood immediately what these charming and often obscure poems where about. For others some of the connecting dots may be missing but for fans of poetry and fairy tales that should not really matter. The poems are enjoyable in any case.As with the first book, this collection of poems takes the readers into a fantastic fantasy world full of sparkling and sometimes dark magic. A world so rich in creatures and themes that poems seem the perfect medium to put the spotlight on the famous drawers, doors and Mr Twindle Twondle etc.Delightful and enchanting this reads like fan fiction and serves as a very welcome bonus materials for the fans of the series until the next book is being released.I personally felt taken back to many happy fairy tale readings of my childhood, inspired to re-read the first book and dive back into other favourites of mine within the genre.O'Brien is an inspiring and multi-talented writer that you should not pass by.
