I didn't really know what to expect from this very short book with a rather concise but intriguing blurb and a fascinatingly bookish cover. I'm pleased to say, I quite enjoyed it. There were times when I was left a bit muddled but for the majority of the novel it was an interesting adventure of a 'word'. This is a translated novel orginally published in German, but I think the translator has done a very good job of finding a way to keep the true essence and meaning of this story while changing up parts of the journey to match the flare of literature in the original.
The Word Trove is quite similar in a way to a story told by Lewis Carroll and contains an ode of sorts to the Mad Hatters Tea Party.
It's an imaginative fairy tale of a story full of excitement and light peril. I would definitely recommend this novella to fans of joyful and whimsical tales.
