Summary: EXCELLENT
Review: I HAVE BEEN SEARCHING FOR A COPY OF THIS BOOK FOR OVER TWENTY YEARS, SINCE MY OWN CHILDHOOD COPY DISAPPEARED. I HAVE BOOKSTORES DOING ONGOING SEARCHES AND I CAN'T PASS A USED BOOK STORE WITHOUT TRYING TO FIND IT. IF ANYONE IS WILLING TO SELL ME A COPY IN GOOD CONDITION, EITHER PAPER-BACK OR HARDBACK, I WILL PAY TOP DOLLAR, IN ADDITION TO BEING ETERNALLY GRATEFUL

Summary: The best book I've ever traveled through
Review: For years I have searched for the book that made me start writing. I read it in fourth grade, and the magic inside came alive forever. For the first time, I wanted to report the book "lost", so I wouldn't have to return it. Mika and Lucy are immortal to me, forever in my writing and my heart. Pictures in my mind from parts in the book float through my head vividly, even after 15 years. My heart jumps at the chance of perhaps finding this precious book and reading the magic to my nieces, even after 15 years

Summary: A book that would make a fantastic Disney animated movie!
Review: I read this when I was a child and still have my copy from the 4th grade. I wish this book would be reprinted for another generation of children to enjoy. One of the best books I ever read as a child--and I still enjoy it as an adult! I wish the folks at Disney would check this book out. It would be a perfect animated movie as well

Summary: The best novel Iever read.
Review: I am 40 years old and have been searching for acopy of this book since I lost my own precious copy at age 16. I must have read it 50 times during my childhood and early teens. It is my favorite novel of all time. It tells of a love so enduring that it is willing to wait 1000 years for fulfillment. I can't wait for my daughter to read it

Summary: Every child's Fantasy
Review: I first read this as an 8-yr-old, and fell in love with it. Now, at 20, I've had 6 copies of it; every time I lose one, I stumble across another. The story is magical, filled with fairies, princesses, and dragons. The characters are gifted with a subtle humor, and just a touch of reality that draws you in. And the very idea that this might one day happen to you, just like it did to Lucy, makes it even more beloved a tale. I keep reading it in hopes that one day I really will look like Bluebell! This will be the first book I give my children, and I know they'll love it as much as I do.

Summary: GREAT Fantasy Book for Children
Review: I read this book over and over again as a child, and have been searching for it since I gave my copy to a little girl who loved to have me read it to her when I babysat. Wonderful characters, great plot! I always wanted to meet Michael and the dragon

Summary: THE book that started me down fantasy's many twisting paths
Review: I first read this book at age 7 - then reread it and reread it again. Finally, the pages started falling out and a few went missing, but I read it till it fell apart. Filled with all the ritual fantasy players and a special little girl who is a testament to following your imagination to whatever adventure it takes you to. This book is the stuff dreams are made of and worthwhile the effort to get ther

Summary: The best little girl's fairytale ever!
Review: I first read this book when I was a little girl in 1960. A generation of girls read it before me, and now I read it to my own girls. This story is full of fairies, goblins, magic, and a friendly dragon. It is even printed in green ink. It is enchanting and I highly recommend it.

Summary: Oh My God!
Review: When I was a child my parents used to go to Auctions. They picked up this book there as a used book. I must have read that book at least 50 times after they purchased it. I even took it to college. When I first started teaching, I read it aloud to my class. The book was stolen. Fortunately, my librarian found another copy. I read it to my next class and it too was stolen. Now, 21 years later I found it and have read it to two more classes, but now I lock it up so it can't be stolen. Both of my daughters love it too. What a great tribute to a beautifully written and absorbing story. I think it is the book which made me a fantasy reader today. Thank you Marian Cockrell!
