I have to agree with you...."The Talisman" comes indeed to mind, also another book I enjoyed!<BR/>This copy of Connolly's book is a bookring registered with bookcrossing and has now gone to the next reader, but I will want to read this book again, so here I go, on the lookout for a hardback copy to keep with me. <BR/>Thank you for your lovely review :)YowlYYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17623783958768279113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5179077428618811016.post-14482159373085394742007-12-11T21:56:00.000-06:002007-12-11T21:56:00.000-06:00Thanks for the wonderful review.

(Actually saving it to read for homeschooling in a couple months when we get to fairy tales.) <BR/><BR/>And now you've made me want to go get The Talisman, too. I read it too many years ago to count, and I really can't remember it all.

Snow White cracked me up in this book :) That was about the only humorous thing though. Connoly's writing is just amazing isn't it? I want to read his short story collection, Nocturne's, now.
