This is the cover of 'The Wild Girl' by Kate Forsyth, and ain't it pretty? It's a lot more powder blue in real life. It's set in Napoleonic times in Cassel, Germany. Dortchen Wild lives next to the Grimm family and as she grows up she begins to develop feelings for the second oldest brother, Wilhelm. I wanted a book similar to Sally Gardner's work, and I hadn't managed to find a historical/fairy-tale for a long time. Most 'fairy-tale' books I'd found were just fantasy. To be honest, I think I've found it. I'm only 137 pages in, and the writing's beautiful, the story captivating.
I can't wait to finish it! By the way the nail polish I'm wearing is Maybelline's Color Show in Love this Sweater. (Weird name, I know).
Here's some recommendations for those of you who, like me, love historical/ magic/ fairy-tale/romance kind of stories.
The Red Necklace, Sally Gardner , 1st of the 'French Revolution' duo.
