I tried reading "The Princess and Curdie" when I was in middle school (I think), and it was horrible. I was worried that this book would also be too saccharine, but it was sweet in a thoroughly good way, and I look forward to reading the rest of the series.

My Dad was gushing about this book. I swear, he was practically in tears. Tried reading it last night, and it was so saccharine, I almost barfed. I think he likes it because it's all about keeping the litte princess safe. And about how little princesses should be good. Hmmmm.... very Freudian Dad.

As a sweet fairytale it's a book I'd have loved to have read aloud as a child, so I'm going to try to remember that for when I have kids of my own. While there were also aspects for an adult to enjoy, I think the book still needs the nostalgic charm of childhood to fully bloom. The sequel seems to be more of the same, so while I'll probably read it eventually, I'm in no great hurry to do so right now.
