The Puppets of Spelhorst

The magic of the puppets felt so vivid and charming. I'm curious whether this concept came from a childhood memory or a specific story idea.

The whimsical tone made the magic feel accessible, but I wonder if younger readers might wish for more tension or excitement at times.

The town feels so alive and detailed. I'd love to know whether it was based on a place from the author's childhood or created purely from imagination.
