Held within this book are not the fairy tales I heard as a child. They surely would have messed me up if I had. Connolly creates something wholly fresh by weaving a new fantasy with old tales placed in the mix aEUR" with a twist that is twisted mind you. It is the story of David lost in another land, and his journey to find a way home. 
 4 stars for scaring the child in meaEUR|for making me wonder, cringe and also laugh as an adult readeraEUR|for the adventure of it, and the heartfelt story inside all of this. Pretty much loved reading this story, and the lesson for us humans that it represented. 
 Buddy read with some good friends. Pick by Bill. 
 PS. Yep, itaEUR(tm)s a recommend.
