Title: Curse in Reverse is a clever twist in a folksy package
Product review: This book, by author Tom Coppinger, is a pure delight! I'm an old softy for stories that hint of old Celtic folk tales, and especially ones like this that build to an unexpected but delightful ending! Derek Zimmer's illustrations give the perfect flavoring to the tale. His touch is evident from the cover, where the tower rising in front of a wood-cutty block of the title shows attention to detail. I like the understated small illustration of the witch on the cover -- it invites you, rather than having the character get in your face -- showing the confidence that the illustrator has in the material he is working with.But it's the story that is the star here, and the story is what earns it a permanent spot on my own bookshelf. Agnezza the witch is a character I would like to see again, and I hope the author continues to develop a stable of characters like this to populate the worlds he creates! Buy this book -- top recommendation.
