Horsefly

Rating:
Summary: An adult's guilty pleasure...
Review: Okay, okay. I'm 41 years old and I have no children, so what am I doing reading children's fiction? The answer is simple---Alice Hoffman. Hoffman, who deftly blends forklore and fairy tale like qualities into her adult novels (HERE ON EARTH, THE RIVER KING, among many others) uses these skills to great advantage in HORSEFLY, and it translates effectively into children's fiction. HORSEFLY is the story of a timid little girl, Jewel, and her magical horse and is a delightful tale for both children and children at heart alike!
