What a beautiful way to breathe new life into a familiar passage from a beloved novel! While I did notice a few distracting shortcuts taken with the otherwise excellent digital illustrations (in particular, reusing supporting elements like goblets and plates) the impression is overall one of magic and warmth, with particularly good depictions of atmospheric light. The way the writing was divided among the images made it feel fresh and new, despite the fact that I've read and listened to these words truly countless times. I purchased this book with my Christmas money and it was very well spent! This is one I'll read every year at Christmastime. The only problem now is deciding whether to place it with my Christmas books or my Harry Potter collection!
