Shirley Barber was my childhood favourite, her stories and illustrations were always magnificent and enthralling. I would sit and read her books for hours, just besotted with the illustrations and imagining myself in her fairy world.
So when I saw this book on the shelf, I just had to get it as I knew my little charges I Nanny, would just be absolutely love with her, as much as I am, and I was correct. This book has become a favourite ion ours, and is read at least once a day.
This book, follows a brother and sister, who try to help save some unicorns and get them back to their land. As always Shirley, with her writings and illustrations, transports you to her world, as if you're there with them, and in the story.
10/10

My son gave me this book for Christmas as he loved the illustrations and knew I would too.
A sweet story about a brother & sister, a magic mirror, unicorns, and a world in peril.
