The curtains that the sun had been badgering were now no more than a mass of spiders webs. ” Everything in the room was covered in a layer of thick dust. The imagery throughout the novel is beautiful, and everything is described in great detail. One of things which is fun seeing change, is Coriander’s fear of the stuffed baby alligator in her father’s study, it holds the key to the cabinet in its mouth, and at the end, it comes alive (just like she had feared all along) it saves her-I can’t tell you how because it will spoil it! The story unfolds through the eyes of six year old Coriander, who is almost 20 by the end of the book. It is packed full of mystery, magic and adventure, and history, with the slightest bit of romance. ![]() It is the best book I have ever read, I couldn’t put it down and read the 300 paged book in two days. ![]() It is really hard to describe, because although it is set in a real time from history, it moves between two different worlds, it is unlike any book I have read before. At the back of the book there are some historical background notes. This book is set in 1649, just after King Charles 1st had been executed. ![]()
