Product Description
London published Children's Illustrated Book
Review
Written in Victorian times, this classic fairy story by John Ruskin was one of the first English "fantasy" books for children. The tale of young, kind-hearted Gluck and his mean older brothers, The King of the Golden River tells of three boys and their search for gold.
The King of the Golden River is a sparkling story that transports young readers into a magical world where good triumphs over evil, and the bad boys get their just desserts. Beautifully illustrated in elegant style, this little book has the feel of real quality and would make an ideal gift for young readers who enjoy sharing books and reading aloud. (Age 7 and over) --Susan Harrison
