A succulent, collection of magical tales are captured within this fantastic boxset of Peter. 'Alice in Wonderland' is the first thing that comes to mind in this haphazard amalgamation of surreal stories and poems that the author has created. You will lovingly be taken away from the mundane and into another realm, one of wonder and hope. The protagonist Peter ploughs his way through worlds of fairies, elves, evil and demons and scrapes through to fight another day. The stories have a ‘feel-good, factor but are swamped with dark thoughts and entities. Certainly, this is one for older children and adults alike. The cryptic darkened tales for sure riddled with clever lines to make the reader think and many will be missed by younger readers. Truly, a boxset to be treasured and read over and over again like many of the classics created by C S Lewis through the wardrobe and into Narnia. I loved it and I can’t wait to read it again!
