I found myself transported happily back to the idyllic days of my childhood as I read this book. Julia has a way of making magic birds and mythical creatures spring to life in vivid technicolour. As a young reader, I spent many a happy hour engrossed in the fairy tales of the brothers Grimm or Hans Christian Anderson. Julia has the same way of capturing the imagination with this beautiful retelling of an old Russian folktale in a style that will captivate the modern, young reader.
