“This is a story that will appeal to a large age group, as it has all the ingredients of the quintessential fairy tale from a writer such as Hans Christian Anderson.
The story is told by a man who has lived in Bali for almost three decades and shows his capacity to understand the local Hindu culture and portray it so well in this classic story of rejection, humour and love.  From the start it captures your imagination and makes it a book that is hard to put down until you reach the final chapter with its unusual, but happy ending.
The wonderful illustrations have managed to capture the full essence of the story and portray the beautiful culture of the Balinese people, giving the reader a fascinating glimpse into this mystical and magical Island of the Gods.”
