Incredible value. Lovely story - our 5 year old boy is in love with Arrietty from the anime. He follows the book read to him surprisingly well.

Loved this book at 8 years old and it was so fun to revisit it as an adult. Where my love of miniatures started.

Preciosa edición, de buena calidad y con muchos detalles, contiene un pequeño fragmento de un cuento de otro escritor en las ultimas paginas como muestra de regalo de la editorial, una compra muy recomendable.

Having watched the movie as a child, I was very curious to read the book as an adult and I can honestly say, I was not dissapointed! Such a lovely read and such depth to the characters. Very descriptive book and has a lot of deeper life lessons hidden within the story. Certainly worth a read for children and adults alike
