Camellia the Bald

Summary: A book of international reputation
Review: I (a German living in Switzerland) was fortunate enough to receive this amazing book as a christmas present. Since christmas presents are handed out at the evening of Dec. 24th in Germany, I was not able to go to bed without reading the book before. It is fascinating and gripping fantasy tale, certainly apt for childern but for adults as well. My highest recommendation.

Summary: CAmellia the Bald
Review: This is a wonderful fantasy that stars a girl which is awfully nice for a change. It is filled with adventure and interesting sensitive relationships - one between Camellia and her father- and others with the many characters/companions on her journey. It is also nice to see that she doesn't have the fantasy perfect family and still feels loved and supported by others.It's nice to see the family depicted in a more realisitic way better reflectng the complex families of today. Kids will love this book which never has a dull moment and does have continuous high adventure. I highly recommend it to both girls and boys and I do hope Mr. Zrudlo provides us with a sequel.

Summary: A New World You'll Love
Review: We don't have J.R.R. Tolkein, C. S. Lewis, or Charles Williams around any more to create new worlds for us to explore and enjoy. But now we have E.W. Zrudlo carrying on the tradition!

I found this book hard to put down. The story was extremely well crafted, and will be enjoyed by adults just as much as by children. It's literate, full of great allusions and reverberations from some of the best that human beings have thought and written in the past, and it's just a great story.

As a philosopher, a reader, and a dad, I recommend this book highly! It deserves a very wide readership.

Summary: Take a Trip to the Queendom of Ebal
Review: Well, I finished the book about an hour ago, and I loved it. It is officially a "children's book," but people of all ages will love it. I could not put the bloody thing down, I finished it in less than a day. I highly recommend it. Enjoy!

Summary: Finally, a smart book for kids!
Review: When a young girl's overactive imagination brings to life a jewelled dragon painted on a cave wall, she sets in motion a fine adventure story just right for reading aloud to a favorite child. Lots of excitement with an underlying sophistication adults will appreciate.
