DESCRIPTION:
Modern fairy tales in the full British tradition Glister is an energetic, intelligent young woman who lives in a fairytale-like world. Her home, Chilblain Hall, is so-named because it’s drafty (“draughty” in the very English text of the books), but it also holds numerous rooms and strange inhabitants.In “The Haunted Teapot”, the title object is simply delivered in a package one day. (We don’t need to know why. That’s not important to the story, and this is the kind of imaginative fiction where things like that just happen.) It holds the ghost of an old-fash. "A great graphic novel for all ages!" according to Jessica. I had an interesting experience with this graphic novel. Heading to my local library, I had picked up enough books to last me a hot minute, when on a whim, I added this to my stack. Upon checking out, they told me that it wasn't in the system, but just to take it anyway. Feeling like a rebel, I brought it home and it quickly got forgotten at the bottom of my to-read pile. Last week, I decided I should probably get on it. It's a very small book, and I figured if anything it allows me to mark it off of my 'to read' list.WritingThe first thing I noticed
