Finally, I am back to reading. Finally! And I'm armed with lists from well-reading friends. The Tale of Desperaux was on my list from my sister Liz. Disclaimer: I heard about it long before the movie came out.
This is my new "Can you recommend a good book?" pick. Good writing. Nice plot. Written so that children can understand it, but so that adults appreciate it. Heroes. Villians. Rats. Princesses. Brave servant girls. Unlikely heroes. Castles. Betrayal. Kings who cry. Fathers, mothers, daughters, friends. You'll like it. Worth the read. Worth the time.
Santa brought me a copy.
That Santa.
He's so clever.
