Most Beautiful Gift Abridged

Rating:
Summary: A real treat ; at last, a well told tale.
Review: I expected your usual sappy fable for dumb kids. Heck, was I surprised. This novel is witty, amusing, and a pleasure to read for children of ALL AGES (I'm 45). Well, even a sequel would be a nifty idea: I liked each and every character, and wanna know more about them! This guy Snow (a pseudonym, I gather from his posting) is real talented. Top-notch job, fella

Summary: Frank Capra meets the Little Prince
Review: These days, we can use a shamelessly heartwarming fable and that is exactly what "The Most Beautiful Gift" was to me. The book owes some of its atmosphere to Frank Capra's "feel good" movies but it is as modern as Stephen King's books. A lovely gift for children aged 6 to 90. In Italy we got three more books by this guy and I hope they get published in the States too. The latest one is called "The Little Princess" and moved me to happy tears. I rate "Gift" 4 stars only because "Princess" deserves a somewhat higher mark.
