This year i finally read a book I'd put off for a while and loved its magical world and then had the joy of returning there around Halloween to visit a very creepy pair of siblings.

Bronte juvenilia and play come to life in this book. Valente creates a world where buttons buy lemon peel train tickets, Boney's army of frogs face off against Wellington's limes, people may be made of books or glass or brushes, where suitcases can become floating balloons or abodes, and ghosts (famous and not-so-famous) deliver the mail. I don't read much fantasy but I adored this!
