The Castle Corona

---

In this comedy of manners, everyone is asked to look outside themselves and empathise with others. It's gently done, but it's insistent, and eventually even the slightly ridiculous royal family begins to understand that the world doesn't stop turning when they stop looking. The narrative takes the form of a puzzle, with young readers asked to guess which way the various plot strands will eventually fit together. This is rather unsatisfying - it's all rather anticlimactic, and it doesn't take a very sophisticated reader to work out what's going on. The language, though, is beautiful, with words perfectly chosen and sentences elegantly crafted. Technically, this book is a joy to read and shows its young readers a dazzling possibility of language while never straying from the accessible. A twist in the story's tail would have lifted it from the pleasant to the super, but as it is I think it unlikely The Castle Corona will be read more than once. It's one to borrow from the library or buy and pass on.
