Hortense and the Shadow

This book is so beautifully written and illustrated-visually in a charming Eastern European folk referenced style- the story , while outwardly simple is one that is destined to fascinate and endure, touching as it does on the darkness and light of the human soul. The physical book is beautifully printed and a lovely size with a foiled cover so I would recommend you buy that in preference to the Kindle edition....

Really loved the artwork. Cute story, but eh artwork is what sold It to me.

Bought for my grand daughter of 6. She loves it the illustrations are dreamy and beautifully painted and the story captures the imagination of the child and its shadow perfectly.I recommend

Gorgeous story about self acceptance my 3,6 and 10 year olds could all take something from it.

Really sweet story about a girl and her relationship with her shadow.
