A Richly Descriptive Story
The writing style is masterful in creating strong mental imagery. The depth and layering of the storyline is reminiscent of the works of C.S. Lewis. If words were paint, then I would say William O'Brien uses them like Marc Chagall uses paint in conjuring feelings of awe. Peter's experiences throughout his journey are contagious as we the reader are spellbound by the marvels that are revealed page after page. Very classical in technique and flow, simply great writing.

Another characteristic to the story is the sublime nature hinting at an allegory leaving you in contemplation of the deeper meaning to the story, much like C.S. Lewis. Shrouded within this fairytale of wonderment are traces of timeless wisdom that caught my eye.

While this may be a YA novel, it is written in such a way that would appeal to anyone, regardless of age.

This is one of those books that you can read over and over and find something new every time. In closing, I offer this last bit of wisdom from the story, "Listen with an open heart," he heard the flower speak." It just doesn't get any better than this...

"One of the best poetry collections I have read in recent times. This stunning collection will find its way into the hearts of all fairy tale lovers."

"The poems vary in their emotions but the mystery and the magic, the delicious imagery and sleek flow makes it an awesome collection." 5*****
