![]() Malkin and Tattercoats drive the story, and it is their friendship that made me fall in love with this book. And there is a bit of a love story in this – the love of friends. It is a book that is magical and whimsical, and hopeful – filled with the delight of friendship and doing anything for the people you love. I was just as enraptured by this book as I was when I first discovered it at fourteen, and I think the Shakespeare connection was richer because since then I have read A Midsummer Night’s Dream and many Cinderella-like fairy tales throughout my studies and reading journey. ![]() There’s an absolutely beautiful review, on the Book Muse website, of the new reissue of Cold Iron (Brio Books in the Untapped list) by a wonderful reader who loved it as a young reader when it was first published back in the late 90’s, and loved it just as much now on rereading–the best tribute ever. ![]()
