Just finished reading this lovely book. It has the feel of a Brian Jacques book and is an excellent read from start to finish. My favourite was the Queen of all cats.
A wonderful collection of tales. I especially loved the Girl Who Owned a Bear.
This is one of the most incredibly charming, very humourous and quite enjoyable plays I have ever read.
I just loved the Dragon in this short story and enjoyed the ending too.
Even though I maybe too old for such tales I really enjoyed this book. I would definately consider reading it to my children when they are a little older, especially my youngest who also had his stuffed elephant saved from a downpour.
I made the mistake of watching the movie before knowing that there was a book. While it might sound cliched to say that the book is better, I think it fair to say that it is more a case of each being entirely seperate pieces of work. Very enjoyable read.
