I went into this book without too many expectations and very little foreknowledge, only to be completely charmed and captured by the story and its characters. It's not too much to say that this is a modern classic in the making.
Olaf the bear and Essex the fox overcome the tragedy in their own lives to form a fast friendship, and subsequently (and unexpectedly!) find themselves rescuing a magical baby from a pair of miscreants. But figuring out what to do with the baby afterwards is an entirely different matter...
Featuring a pair of witch sisters, some evil humans who hate magic, a wizard who is turned into a frog, a wise trio of trees, a misanthropic cat and a whole host of other supporting characters with charm and/or ill-intent, this book really is a must-read. Barring one element near the end which I felt was unnecessary, I feel that any readers life will be enriched by this story, which gave me ALL the feels.
