I fell in love with this book when I picked it up from the library while I was still in middle school. It is a very easy read and doesn't require much brain-power, but it is beautiful in its simplicity. I don't regret reading it twice and would suggest it to anyone who enjoys a light fantasy read. It landed itself on my "favorites" shelf in my bookcase.
I loved this book so much as a kid. I recently ordered it through thrift books, and today I sat down and reread it from start to finish. It did not disappoint! Yeah, the illustrations are really dated and the names made me roll my eyes a bit, but it really was an engaging read. I'm glad I got it. I will be keeping it in my shelves for when my daughters get older.

the attention to details in the original fairy tale is astounding!
Wonderfully written, a sweet little tale.
I loved this book! Its so bloody hard to find though! I want to buy it but i see it for over a hundred bucks on ebay... I love it, but not THAT much.
Best fairy tale evar!...sort of.
Just like I remembered, only shorter. I absolutely adore this book and found some rather choice gems in the writing. I really wish that this book wasn't out of print so I could more easily own a copy, let alone find a library that has it.
I was at first reluctant to read this book, I picked it up on the discard shelf at the library on a whim. When I finally got around to it (because I was cleaning out books and I feel guilty donating a book to charity if I haven't read it yet) I was quite surprised. It sounded cliche and trite but I think it turned out to be a faerie tale of value in itself. Simple, guiltless reading. Didn't require a lot of thought or analysis though, pretty much laid it out.
it was sort of boring and long but it seemed to me it me was revolving a little about their two different worlds and their love for each other. not a book i extremely enjoyed. reminded me of twillight a little but was not exactly like it.
The rating I gave this book is too high, but I'm sentimental. I loved this book in middle school, and it gave me the same pleasure to read it as an adult.
Fairy tale with modern sensibility toward class and gender issues, and sympathetic to the fairies.

Sometimes I'm not really sure why I fell in love with this book so hard in middle school, but then I re-read it and love it again. There is no great language or die-hard must-read characters, but I love it because of that and because of the story it tells. It was the first book I read that I where I appreciated more of it when I was older and re-read it. Also, it was the first book that I read that dealt with the issue of religion and magic and how the two can coexist. Plus there is just somethi...
There is something special about a book that opens your eyes and changes your life, and this book did that for me. As an author, I try not to write too many reviews or focus too much on other author’s work – one’s opinion is often suspect – but this book in particular demands attention, if only for the reaction it caused.Before I get too much into the book itself, let me describe its effect on me. I was someone who was always fond of transitional objects – teddy bears, blankies, stuffed animals
“Percinet, only son of Rezaila, Queen of Faerie, has fallen in love. When Rezaila first hears the news, she is delighted, wondering which maiden in the Realm of Faerie has captured his attention.

Under Rezaila’s suddenly icy stare, Percinet also admits that the maiden does not even know he exists.So begins the romancing of Graciosa by Percinet. But it is no easy matter. Graciosa dreads anything to do with magic—understandable in her world of
I read this when I was young, and I remember really liking it. I gave it 3 stars based on my memory of it. My sister found the exact copy at a bookshop, and so I reread it, expecting it to be good. I ended up dropping it down a star, and actually I think the two stars is generous, because this just wasn't good. It's really 1 star, but the second one is for nostalgia. Percinet should have been on the left side of the cover, where it says child of faerie, and she should have been on the right, und...
This was a reread of a book I read as a kid. I loved it then and I still love it, even if I'm an adult and see the world a little differently than I did as a kid. There were a few issues I had with the book, which is why I gave it four stars instead of five. The pictures in my edition didn't match what was happening in the story and there were some spelling mistakes that were a little difficult to overlook. I also get a little annoyed with Graciosa after awhile because she starts to sound like a...
