Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. A bear's tales help a king and a boy appreciate their world. Even a decade after I first read this book it hasn't lost its power to floor me. Both the narrative and illustrations are spellbinding, and the poetry in the language of first page alone knocks the breath out of me every time I read it. Calling Through the Mickle Woods a "children's book" is criminal; it's simply one of the best things I've ever read. It is well, well, well worth seeking out a copy to own. no reviews | add a review
