This was one of my favorite books when I was young. It was also my first introduction to the artwork of Edward Gorey. I can't tell you how much I loved experiencing this again, it was my first time reading it with my ears. Read by George Guidall, it was as enjoyable as I remembered from my youth. You've probably seen the trailers for the movie, or the movie itself, so you know it is a story about magic, good vs. evil, growing up, trying to fit in, loss and love. It is told in such an accessible way for a young audience, I simply cannot recommend it highly enough!
