Book Reviews of Shadow Castle: Expanded Edition

Book Review: The expanded edition versus the original
Summary: 4 Stars

I loved the original book (mine was in green type print also) so I am probably somewhat prejudiced, but I have to say that I was disappointed in the extra chapters in the new copy. I found the Flame story to be gory and somewhat disturbing. I think that it might scare small children. I also found that some things had to be written or explained twice-- once in the added chapter and once where it had originally been in the book.

Don't get me wrong. When I found a used copy and reread it, I was so moved that I cried. I love this book. I love the illustrations. I cannot wait to share it with my children (my friend from lunch is reading it now). But if you have the opportunity to hold out for the older version, I as a person who has been cherishing and looking for this book for decades would suggest doing it. No matter what the version you can get, do not pass up an opportunity to read this timeless and beautiful book.
