Summary: I LOVE THIS BOOK!
Review: This is my favorite book. I have read it so many times. The drawings are beautiful. The story is so interesting that you almost feel like you are in the book, that you are Cassandra. There are so many mythical creatures discribed and drawn out for you on every page. My favorite part is when they meet the Manticore and the Sphynx falls in love with him. It is a very cute book that reads easy.

Summary: It helped me get inspired!
Review: While reading htis book, i was running out of ideas quickly for drawings and pictures. After reading, i decided to draw some characters and they turned out great! I really love this book. I think my favorite characters are Miranda and the sphinx. My cousin has this, but I don't have it (YET!) and i borrowed it from her

Summary: The Voyage of the Basset
Review: Wonderful. Nothing else does this book justice. I originally picked up this book in an upperclass type book store (not a please sit down and read type) and I sat down, on the floor, and read a great deal of it. This was at a time when it was far and away out of my budget and I yearned for it for years. I received this book recently as a gift and was once again amazed by the quality of it. It may be classified as a children's book but it is perhaps more enjoyed by the adult reader who can appreciate the literary and historical references. The illustrations are of an unsurpassed quality and often brought a smile to my face. If you still believe, or merely WANT to believe, in faery then order this book and forget for awhile.
