@hrefna Yes, that book is amazing. I watched the cartoon countless times as a child but once I read the book I realized it is not a children’s story at all, even if the adaptation is fairly faithful. It is rich and deep and gets richer as I get older and return to it.
The lines stick with you. Like “There are no happy endings, because nothing ends.”
(Peter S Beagle is incredible for this. Not Wanted on the Voyage, a disturbing retelling of Noah’s Ark, is still powerful twenty years on).
