A fairy tale for adults. This books gets you to thinking about what is really important in your life and following your dreams. Not a book quickly forgotten, I am sure it will mean something different to each person who reads it, and not everyone will enjoy this type of light philosophy. Nonetheless, I got something positive out of it.

Great book! This was my second time reading it and I enjoyed it even more this time around. It seems like such a simple story and yet carries such a profound message about life and faith and the "language everybody knows"... I loved it. ...more
