Tilly and the Lost Fairytales

I’m curious whether the concept came from a personal love of fairy tales or if it was shaped by childhood memories of stories that felt like they were missing.

The pacing was steady, but I wonder if younger readers might find some sections a bit drawn out or if it kept all ages engaged throughout.

Her journey felt both literal and metaphorical, and I’d love to hear thoughts on how her experiences deepen the message about the importance of stories.
