![]() Now that I have thoroughly vented my grouchiness, let me add that the pictures are phenomenal, the three Grace children are cool kids, and the world of fairy creatures they discover while living in an old run-down house is full of mystery, magic, danger, and fun. But I’m not too nice to take those points back for the crime of “milking more out of them than they are worth.” Admittedly, the books deserve points for their high-quality, original design. ![]() I would also be a touch less grouchy if this story didn’t take up so many inches of my precious shelf space. I think I would have gone crazy reading them one at a time, because there is really only one story between them, and a real or implied “To Be Continued Sign” is simply not a satisfying ending for a book. The first thing I observed about these books is that they aren’t really five books, but one book chopped up into five highly attractive, but probably overproduced volumes. ![]() I figured it would be a good idea to do my homework before seeing the upcoming movie based on these books. ![]() I finally tired of waiting for these five slim, gorgeously illustrated books to come out in paperback, so I picked up a boxed set of the hardcovers. ![]()
