The book description does not do this book justice. It is a great book that I have read many times, and if I didn't already own it I'd order it now!

This was my absolute favorite book as a child. I can't even tell you how many times I've read it. A great read!

From the dust cover: "Mary Jane Begin's elegant prose and lavish, Renaissance-infused illustrations capture with fresh energy and sensitivity all the eerie and fantastic drama of this classic story."
The illustrations are beautiful and I like how the apprentice is a girl. A great children's book teaching about patience and hard work.

I enjoyed this book more than I thought I would considering the reviews it was given. I realize it is part of a series which I have not read, but I found the "family" of Rosalind to lack depth of character. After reading the second chapter, which I found to be a little disappointing, I think the book improved. The main characters caught my interest and kept the story alive for me. The paranormal aspect was a little fantastical but not so far out there that I couldn't enjoy it. There was one aspect of the final chapter that I had a hard time wrapping my brain around, but all in all, I would read it again.
