The Silver Rings Rating: 5.0 stars
This book is a mix of many different fairy tales plus a whole lot more. This book kept me reading once I started and I would recommend it for any one of any age. It has a little bit of everything you can imagine. A fairy, ogres, giants, toads and so much much more. I believe this book will take a child's imagination and run wild with it. It also has a few lessons in honor and nobility. Really great read even for us adults with an imagination.
The Silver Rings Rating: 5.0 stars
The Silver Rings by Samuel Valentino is a fantasy adventure story about twins Celia and Alice. Their evil stepmother sends them on an adventure to a world of fantasy and imagination. On their adventure, they come across various interesting characters such as a sarcastic fairy godmother, a fox, princes, giants, and many more.
The book also has a message for young readers. Fantasy stories are always captivating and enchanting for the very fact that they come up with exciting and inventive characters who pique your interest and stimulate your creative brain. The beginning of the story itself tickles you where the twin sisters enter the Enchanted Forest and get eaten up by giant spiders. The book is a typical fairy tale but then fairy tales always enchant readers and one never gets bored of reading these types of books. They transport you to another world - that of imagination, excitement, and fantasy. Another interesting fact about this book is that the illustrations are also done by the author. That displays the creativity of this writer who is not only adept in writing stories for children, but is also a good illustrator. The illustrations are beautiful and they add to the charm of the tale. The language is simple, elegant, and magical. The word choices add to the fantasy theme of the book. The names and the title of each chapter are innovative and interesting. The book has an interesting message for children. I leave that for readers to find out.
