DS1 is 4 and a half and is loving this story by Ursula Moray Williams. The chapters are short, it is beautifully written (love her other books for older children too) and the story is magical and enchanting.
I remember it being read to me in infant school!

I read it over and over again, and also had an audio recording of it - I can still hear the voice of the woman who read it, it was SUCH an amazing story!

I wanted to be Sootica, she kicked the shit

I love this book and have it ready for DD when she is old enough.

Anyone for Alison Utterly??

This was one of my absolute favourites for ages - it's unbelievably atmospheric and exciting. Thanks popy, you've reminded me - I must get it for my two!!

There's a sequel too, Gobbolino and the Little Wooden Horse
