The cover of this book is stunning, i absolutely love it. It is embossed aswell so it feels really premium to hold. It would make a lovely gift to someone who cherishes the written word.
The book itself is not long, its less than 200 pages, easily read over a couple of evenings.
The story follows a word on a journey, the story can be a bit confusing to follow. I will be honest and say I disn't enjoy it, I found it odd without the whimsy.
The book plays into nostalgia with reference to other tales such as Watership Down & Alice in Wonderland. But most of all the heart of the story is the written word, and English Language.
It challenges the reader to value books and the importance of grammer and language.
I found myself eye rolling at some of the story, there was a part at the Linguistic games where you would find the story telling clever but I actually just found it boring.
I really thought i would cherish this book after reading a preview but It really was not for me.
