Status Updates From The Puppets of Spelhorst

The world was muffled, but it was still there.

Trying another gentle, fairytale-style book to listen in the middle of the night. So far, it's working . . .

So there is a third act. How interesting. And the king isn't really all that selfish anymore- he just wants his friends back. And as Jane learns the hard way, the owl is a bird, not a feather duster!

So we're on to Act 2. I wonder how many acts there will be. But at least the puppets have two new sisters who can play with them. Also, is it just me or does the wolf puppet remind me of Fenrir, Skoll and Hati the wolf monsters from Norse mythology?

Such definitive, human like characteristics for our puppets only 20 pages in. I like it! I do feel bad for old Spelhorst though. He seems rather lonely. And the illustrations are nice! I will admit, I don't usually read books like this, but it spoke to me. Have I read something by this author before?
