Banks, Lynne Reid. The Farthest-Away Mountain. New York: Doubleday, 1976. New York: Camelot-Avon, 1992. Trade paperback, 130 pages. Illustrations by Dave Henderson.

*This book is a charming little magical quest story. I value it for its magic elements: talking creatures, invisibility, a happy ending, and some fascinating colored snow. This book is particularly special to me because I re-read it upside-down in high school, just for kicks. It appeals more to the young female audience (and to me) than Banks's more familiar Indian in the Cupboard series, which stars a male protagonist. The Fairy Rebel, another Banks book aimed at young females, didn't suit me at all. It frightened me as a child, and I didn't like it much when I re-read it recently.

*This is Ruth Chew's venture into Arthurian Legend, which is a tangential interest of mine which I will someday explore further. It is like her other books, except for one thing: I didn't think this book existed! I bought one of the three copies that turned up on the internet one day, because I'd never heard of it before, and was afraid it would wink back out of existence! I thought I knew the titles of all of Ruth Chew's books, but I guess I was wrong. There aren't really any online sources for information about Ruth Chew and her books, as far as I can tell, which is a shame. (In fact, if you search for "Ruth Chew" using Google, my website comes up first on the list.)

*This book drove me nuts for years, because I remembered the story but couldn't think of its title. Finally, I did an online search and came up with The Battle for Castle Cockatrice, the American title. I remembered the story from years ago. I'd seen an animated film version of The Talking Parcel on a public television program. I liked the show and then read the book, incorporating some of its images into my own personal imagined paradise: unicorns, phoenixes, and the like. Throw in a talking parrot, a magician, a sea serpent, werewolves, and three children on a quest, and you've got a magical tale that would make an impression on anybody. The book appealed more to me for its fantastic setting than for its plot: the actual battle for which the American version of the book is named left me decidedly luke-warm. Perhaps this book, or parts of it, anyway, are aimed at the young male audience, and therefore somewhat passed me by. I do genuinely value the book, particularly the British version, which I think has a better title and dust jacket illustration, and I also own the film (1984).

*Written in the 50's set in the 20's (when movies don't talk, and nickels don't have Jefferson on them), there's something special about the simple style of this book. Four siblings who love to read about magic complain that magic adventures never happen to them. Until Jane finds the token. Read this book and you will meet a half-talking cat (who would prefer not to talk at all), a camel trader, and a kind bookseller who believes in magic and in love.

*I have a complex relationship with this book. I came to know it years ago as a movie, also called The Neverending Story (1984). I didn't find out until much later that the plot of the movie actually leaves off halfway through the book. The book does split nicely into two halves: the first is the exciting, lighthearted adventure story most people are familiar with, and the second half is a much darker coming-of-age tale. The reading-level of the book is more advanced than most of the books in my collection. The book was definitely intended for an older audience than the movie was. I would like to own the movie as well as the book, someday. (Someone tried to make the second half of the book into a movie, and, in my opinion, utterly failed.)

Strangely enough, I first read the story in Italian while studying abroad in Pisa, Italy. (Ironically, it was originally written not in English or Italian, but in German.) When my family came to visit me, I read the English version out loud to my little brother during our vacation. Our favorite part is the scene in the first half of the book where the protagonist meets Morla, an ancient turtle who speaks v-e-r-y s-l-o-w-l-y, uses the royal we, and remains utterly indifferent to everything, including the imminent destruction of her world. My brother and I thought this was really and truly very funny. For weeks afterwards, whenever I mimicked her somber statement, "It's all the same to us," we would both fall into spasms of laughter.

The book itself is interesting in that each chapter begins with a different letter of the Alphabet, starting with A and going all the way to Z. This feature is somewhat problematic, given that Italian doesn't really have a 26 letter alphabet. I am left to wonder what the original German version was like. Someday I'll probably track down a copy and find out.

Juster, Norton. The Phantom Tollbooth. New York: Epstein, 1961. Introd. Maurice Sendak. New York: Bullseye-Random, 1996. Trade paperback, 256 pages, new. Illustrations by Jules Feiffer.

*This is one of several books in my collection which I came to know first as movies. The title of the live action/animated movie is also The Phantom Tollbooth (1970). This was another library favorite of mine, even if it was already probably ten years old the first time I ever watched it. The movie is entertaining, especially with the songs, but the book is superior in terms of the details of clever allegory. For instance, there's the episode in which Milo winds up on the Island of Conclusions (having jumped there, of course).

Levine, Gail Carson. Cinderellis and the Glass Hill.  New York: HarperCollins, 2000.  Small hardback, 104 pages.  Illustrated by Mark Elliott.  One of the Princess Tales.  Glossy dust jacket.  Three piece paper binding.

---.  Ella Enchanted. 1997. New York: Harper Trophy, 1998. Trade paperback, 232 pages. Worn cover, bookseller price in pencil on first page. Newberry Honor book.

*This book reminds me of The Ordinary Princess, just above, and also a little of Robin McKinley's Beauty. It is a charming story that adds depth and personality to the Cinderella fairytale. Ella has been cursed by a well-meaning but obnoxious fairy with a magic obedience which hampers her life. She meets the prince to the accompaniment of pumpkins and magic finery, but there are details to the story that are wholly new. It encompasses not only the themes of romance and family, but also freedom, friendship, and maturity. Young girls will enjoy this book and admire its heroine. (Might be a little too mushy for the young male audience!)

*From the back cover: "Here is your passport to a most extraordinary excursion into magical lands and enchanted happenings." This sort of approach to the Chronicles of Narnia is one which I have never outgrown. These books were read to me at a very young age, and captivated my imagination before I understood the Christian allegory. A particular favorite is The Magician's Nephew, the prequel to the more widely-read book, The Lion the Witch, and the Wardrobe, required reading for many elementary schools. The Magician's Nephew has a broader scope than the other books, in a way, and weaves everything together with the real world very cleverly.

McKinley, Robin. Beauty: A Re-Telling of the Story of Beauty and the Beast. 1978. New York: Trophy-Harper, 1993. Trade paperback, 247 pages. Bookseller price in pencil in rear cover. Spine creased. McKinley's first book, and her first of two versions of Beauty and the Beast. I prefer this version to the Rose Daughter version.

*Like Levine's Cinderella story Ella Enchanted, this story is built on one we all know and love, and have seen through the eyes of Disney's animators. Although Beauty and the Beast is probably my favorite Disney film, I still think that the story could be told better. McKinley tells it differently, certainly: instead of talking furniture, Beauty is surrounded by whispering servants she cannot see. Also, more time is spent developing Beauty's relationship to her family before she goes to the castle: the end of the story is fairly predictable. Beauty, McKinley's first book, is also only her first attempt at the Beauty and the Beast story. She later wrote a longer version entitled Rose Daughter, which in my opinion is excessively weighed down by the details of rose gardening, apparently a hobby of the author, and by a legend she attempts to weave into the background of the story. Of course, I don't regard either of McKinley's versions as the be-all end-all version, either: I imagine there are many more versions of which I would like to partake. In fact, Beauty and the Beast is the one fairy tale I would claim as my own, the one that I can imagine with the most detail, enthusiasm, and belief. If I were to write a book, this would be my story.

*This is a favorite story of mine from grade school, when the teacher would gather us into a circle and read a chapter or two to us at the end of each day. Although real-world issues form the base of this tale of a misfit girl, it is the magic elements which fascinated me. The protagonist has silver eyes that enable her to move objects by telekinesis; that is, without touching them. The story tells how she uses and copes with her personal problems and her powers.

*In the wake of Rowling's amazing success, I'm not sure I have much to add in praise of these charming books. I must say I deplore the reactionist tendency to disparage these books and even avoid reading them just because they gained such mass popularity. I believe that Rowling's popularity reflects the quality of books she has produced, and on their universal appeal, and is wholly deserved.

*I checked out this book at my local public library one summer when I was a kid. Years later, when I had forgotten both the title and the author, I wanted to find it again more than anything in the world. I remembered was that it was about a magic cube that seemed to grant wishes to a little boy. I remembered some of the details of the book, right down to a pair of purple sneakers the boy wished for! After searching unsuccessfully for the book on the internet, I gave up trying to pluck the book out of thin air. I went back to my old public library to see if, just maybe, I could find it on the shelf. I started scanning the "alpha-by-author" spines in the Juvenile Fiction Section.  To my utter delight, when I got to S, I spotted the book I was looking for sitting there on the shelf just as it had been ten years ago. I did a little victory dance, hoping no one thought I'd gone mad. It is a great book. The end is even better than I remembered.

*This book took a trip to the hospital with me when I cut my hand and had to get stitches: the nurse didn't want me to leave, because she was listening along with me as my mother read the story and wanted to hear the ending! I've since re-read the book in more pleasant situations, and I find that it has important lessons to teach about appearances. It's also a rather humorous story: have you ever made up a tongue-twister that almost killed a dragon? The scene is one of my favorites.
