Ah, this is truly a gem of a beautiful story. I simply had to re- listen it in audible edition. I loved it, again!

What a beautiful story. The main storyline was complete with mysterious children, amazingly witty and humorous dialogues and at the end bit of drama with a happy ending. I loved that story and highly recommend it on!
