dunno how old i was and it obviously wasnāt the first time iād read but i believe my brain turned on to make a memory of gleefully poring over a kid fantasy for a reasonā stories opened the world for me even as a littleāun
honestly this was a read from childhood that has always stuck with me and i will go back to. it has such a whimsiness about it that makes you feel like a child again while reading it. gorgeous details that you can envision as well as a fun plot.
