This book has been in my collection since I was about 7. It is a wonderfully illustrated collection of verses about the night of the Butterfly Ball and all those who are attending. the characters are beautifully drawn and the rhymes are lovely.
Highly recommended for everyone.

A wonderful retelling of a classic story. Though the artwork was a bit hard to see on my Kindle, it was still a very pleasurable read. To be able to view nature in its complete beauty is something that tends to elude us in our current society, and this story was a good escape away from our complex

lives.

This is a beautiful book of verse, accompanied by full and lustrous illustrations of the Butterfly Ball. I remember this one from when I was a child - there was even a song and film clip released I believe. Great memories and a beautiful book that can be enjoyed by the whole family. A lovely

addition to any collection.
