A review by pagesfullofstars
The Rose and the Ring by William Makepeace Thackeray

4.0

I picked it up due to my recent lack of free time and energy for reading "heavier" books and also because I remember a movie adaptation I watched as a kid, and I was surprised how much I enjoyed it! After a slow beginning, I spend most of my reading time laughing or giggling (when I was in public) at the caricature-like characters and their wacky adventures.

I loved how full of humour it was and that it had lots of fairytale elements. I also thought it was great that it was clearly written to be enjoyed by both children and adults. It was a delightful little book, that I would recommend if you're looking for a humorous read :)
