I found it ok, nowhere near The Princess and the Goblin. Nothing new to say.
Here‘s the mystery, though. In 7th grade I won a writing contest at school, and the prize was a hardback edition of this (I think). Well, that copy is not in my house, but more surprisingly, seems not to be at my parents‘ house. Now it‘s bugging mom and me - where the hell did it go? Hence the hoopla copy here. Someday when I get to visit again mom and I will find it!
