The Childrens Book, by AS Byatt

It's a luxurious read.
A book about the lives of some children and your families from the late Victorian period through the end the First World War.
The lives of families intertwine in interesting ways contrasting with fabulous fairy tales throughout the book.
I was deeply moved at the end.

Wonderful book. Loved the imagery. Particularly enjoyed the fairytales within the book. Great strong characters. This book totally drew me in to its world, well worth reading.
