I had forgotten about this one, but I remember being surprised at how fascinated my girls were listening to it. I hadn't had much hope for it, but they were mesmerized. I liked it too...so warm and exotic somehow.
I had never read this one as a child (or to my own) and was really charmed by it as well! I definitely agree with your description of it as being exotic and warm!
I remember this book, it's been forever since I have read it but I remember loving it. Thanks for sharing.
