The Star of Kazan

Description:

Published : 2004
Publisher: Macmillan
Author : Eva Ibbotson
Edition: Proof + Lucky Ticket
Signed: No
Condition: Very Good
Synopsis: An enthralling and enchanting adventure set in turn-of-the-century Vienna from the author of the best-selling JOURNEY TO THE RIVER SEA. In 1896, in a pilgrim church in the Alps, an abandoned baby girl is found by a cook and a housemaid. Annika grows up in the servants' quarters of the house of some eccentric Viennese professors, but dreams of the day when her real mother comes to find her, and she discovers who she really is. Then her dream comes true - but not in a way that she could ever have imagined...Eva Ibbotson's hugely entertaining story is a timeless classic for readers young and old.
Review:
Eva Ibbotson is a great writer, not 'just' a great children's writer. Every night I read another chapter to my ten year old Niece and looked forward to it at least as much as she did. As in 'The Journey to the River Sea', Eva Ibbotson creates a vivid and fully realised world, populates it with characters which have just enough of the grotesque mixed in with their humanity to make them memorable, then ties the whole thing together with a pageturner of a story that for all its twists and turns is never contrived. Really magical, and my Niece's book of the year.
