Rory intends to find out as soon as she comes face to face with her old foe. Lucas is someone Rory’s known for years―a man as devastatingly handsome as he is coldly disapproving of her.

Princess Daisy is a terrible book only in the sense that it is almost totally inept. If cheap dreams get no worse than this, there will not be much for the cultural analyst to complain about.

The first time was for a book called Scruples, which I will probably never get around to reading. This is the second time she has been up there.

The story is also about the painfulness of loss, and how it pulls us to withdraw. For me, it’s a lesson in patience, in staying with hard feelings when they seem unbearable, only then can we truly learn something. The book doesn’t rush to its conclusion and the reader has to appreciate taking one’s time and tolerating the loneliness Fox has to endure. ![]() It shows what pleasures can be found if we can be brave and persevere in the face of adversity. One day he can’t see Star and a journey of searching begins which ends with finding more than fox could have anticipated, a universe full of stars, but also the realisation that they are for all to enjoy and don’t belong to him alone.

The Fox and the Star is a beautifully illustrated book for children aged 6 upwards. ![]() ‘The Fox and the Star’ by Coralie Bickford Smith Interview with Leila Bargawi, Child & Adolescent Psychoanalytic Psychotherapist Why do you like this book? ![]() |
