My kids, and my wife and I, really enjoyed the Disney film of the same name. It's interesting to see how the original book differs from the later movie. I thought the book was good too even though it lacks Peter Ustinov's personality and humor. Either way it's worth a read.
An enjoyable and easy read. The language is a little too "Pleasantville" in that there is an overuse of exclamations such as "jeepers", "golly" and their ilk. If the language weren't quite so cute, it would be a better book.
This is described on the cover as "hilarious" but I found the opening, and especially the death of the witch involved with Blackbeard, depressing. So far I have not brought myself to read more.
