Tatterhood and the Hobgoblins: A Norwegian Folktale Hardcover – January 1, 1993

The illustrations alone are worth it but it is a skillful retelling as well. A wonderful tale of sisterhood differences and princesses that have adventures of their own. I wouldnt mind an updated version where they fill out the more traditional princesses a little more but tatterhood is a wonderful character that appeals to modern sensibilities and also is very much in the tradition of tales of chivalry.

A beautiful little book for girls who know that being pretty and quiet doesn't always mean you're the hero. The illustrations are not overly colourful, but very detailed and lovely. The story is heartening and sweet, a lovely tale of the girl who chooses not to fit the mold but still comes out on top. I loved it when I was 5, I love it still as an adult.

Fun story, fun to read and act out (my 7yr old).

Replacement for adult daughter ......she loved this book do much and now she'll have a great gift from Santa!! N

A wonderful telling of the fairy tale with some unique touches. The artwork is exceptional. Perfect for anyone looking for a story with a strong heroine.

Beautiful book. Illustrations are beautiful and plentiful. Paper is glossy and sturdy. Can be read in one sitting. Lovely story. REtold well.

Nice story. I love all my books by Lauren Mills. They take you to a magical fairy land . My daughter loves them too.

The seller was clear about the state of the book. It arrived in good time. I am satisfied!And it is a beautiful fairy tale, for children and adults.

My six year old had been reading this in class and came home raving about it. As I never refuse to buy books for my boys I agreed we could purchase. Little did I realise this is an old classic which is out of print in the UK. It came all the way from the States and is not brand new. But quality is great and we love the notion that books have been loved and enjoyed by other families. Great service although delivery was slow as it had to be shipped from the US. Great quality. Recommend both book and seller!
