The Wizards of Once – Cressida Cowell
Wonderful galloping tale of Magic, good and evil. Many influences feed into this, from Roald Dahl to Arthurian legend to fairy tales to Shakespeare, and the result, fired by Cressida Cowell’s imagination, is stellar. The chatty, jaunty tone of the “unknown narrator” means the evil bits never get too frightening, and Cowell’s brilliant illustrations perfectly support the story.
