I LOVED this story! I found it impossible to put down. This is one I will return to again and again and not just for the holidays although for me it will certainly become a definate re-read each Holiday season. I HIGHLY recommend this book to all and especially those who like modern twists to classic tales. A truly beautiful,heartwarming and exceptionally memorable story. Just Wow!
