""Through the dark and wolfish woods,
through the white and silent snow,
lived a small girl called Hortense.
Though kind and brave, she was sad as an owl because of one thing . . .
Hortense hated her shadow.""

A beautifully illustrated dark fairy tale that will remind you of the fables you read as a child. A treasure not to be missed.

I have read this book

I like it because it's about a girl who first thinks her shadow is really annoying but then she likes it and learns that it is a friend.

It was a fiction,I liked the shadow.I would recommend it to small girls to never fear in the dark.
