Has anyone come across this gorgeous little novel by Gaiman?
It was Gaiman's contribution to World Book Day so was free in exchange for a WBD Book Token which is fab! I does love World Book Day!!!
Aaaanyway, it's a lovely little story centering around a boy called Odd. who runs away from home, even though he can only walk using a crutch.
It's aimed at the younger generations but I enjoyed it immensely, granted I read it in under an hour (it's really not that long at all) but oh! it's a wonderful little tale involving Norse mythology and I'd readily recommend it to any adult wanting an hours escape from the world!
It'll now join Tom's Midnight Garden, The Little Vampire Series, Flat Stanley (my youngest shares his name) and The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe on the bottom shelf of my sons' bookcase waiting patiently for them to grow old enough to read it!
