I just find this book very joyful!
I watched the movie as a little girl many times, and I loved it, then I watched it again now as a teenager, and remembered how wonderful it was!

I just finished reading the book, and yes I was surprised of how many things were different in the book than in the movie, but the book is splendid on its own way.

I love this kind of stories, where there is fairies, wizards, good and evil.
I think the book has a deeper meaning in so many levels, and it has a good moral, too.
