Story Behind The Book
I wrote this book for my little girl who loved fairy tales and couldn't get enough of them. But I also wrote it as an analogy, with C. S. Lewis and George MacDonald as inspiration. And as they have also said, this book is not only for children, but for those who are young at heart.
