Rezension zu „Fairyland - The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland in a Ship of Her Own Making “
"A glorious balancing act between modernism and the Victorian Fairy Tale, done with heart and wisdom."--Neil Gaiman, Newbery Award-winning author of "The Graveyard Book" "September is a clever, fun, stronghearted addition to the ranks of bold, adventurous girls. Valente's subversive storytelling is sheer magic."--Tamora Pierce, author of The Immortals series "A mad, toothsome romp of a fairy tale--full of oddments, whimsy, and joy."--Holly Black, author of "Zombies vs. Unicorns" and "The Spiderwick Chronicles" "When I saw that this book reminds me simultaneously of E. Nesbit, James Thurber, and the late Eva Ibbotson, I don't mean to take anything awy from its astonishing originality. It's a charmer from the first page, managing the remarkable parlay of being at once ridiculously funny and surprisingly suspenseful. Catherynne Valente is a find, at any age!"--Peter S. Beagle, author of "The Last Unicorn" "This is a kind of "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz" by way of "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland"--it's the sort of book one doesn't want to end."--"Publishers Weekly", Starred Review "[Fairyland creates] a world as bizarre and enchanting as any Wonderland or Oz and a heroine as curious, resourceful and brave as any Alice or Dorothy. Complex, rich and memorable."--"Kirkus Reviews", Starred Review "This book is quite simply a gold mine."--"Booklist", Starred Review "Amusing, wrenching, and thought-provoking."--"The Horn Book"
