As entertaining, amusing, and slightly disturbing, story as any Grimm. Written in an original style to keep you reading ... and develop on odd craving for pink wafer biscuits.

[Jean-paul Audouy]

I haven't read a children's book in decades but you don't have to be a child (except in your mind) to enjoy this book. Between a fairy tale and a nightmare with a very rich imagery. Found this book through the author whom I met on Twitter. Social networks can lead to all sort of adventures...
