This book has always been one of my favorite classics, right up there with the tales of OZ and Pooh. Who of us has'nt ever wished to fly?
What with a new film verison of it now out I felt it was time to re-visit the book.
Like so many other stories that get this treatment I feel a movie can not truly copy the rich charm with which this is written.

To some it may sound 'dated' but I feel it has that ageless charm of days gone by which reads like a classic story book. Works needn't be up to date to be loved forever...
