A Childhood Memory!

I read this book as a child and searched for years for a copy to give my daughter. It is a wonderful fairy tale, with very good moral values. Share this with your kids!

WOW!

Oh my goodness! I can not believe the reviews I have read about this book! I bought it at a book fair when I was 10, back in the mid-eighties. I have tried for years to remember the title, as I wanted so desperately to get a copy for my daughter! The one I had also disappeared! I have never forgotten about this book and can't wait to have it again! This is a must read for anyone who loves fantasy with a great dash of romance! Amazon.com is so great!!

Wonderful Story with Lingering Magic

While exploring the woods near her home, a young girl, Lucy, encounters a small dog. She allows the friendly creature to lead her along a faded pathway, into a hidden cave and through a tunnel. When she emerges from the darkness, Lucy discovers an enchanted land and a young man named Michael who treats her to stories about the people and other beings who once lived there.

One of my all time favorite books, Shadow Castle is a wonderful fairy tale full of goblins and dragons, fairies and magic and love. Like many other reviewers, I first read this when I was very young. But, unlike many, I never lost my copy. I shared it with my own children and am now sharing it with their children.

I was excited to find Shadow Castle on Amazon a few years ago and happy to be able to purchase it in a hardcover library binding since my old paperback was showing its age. (Of course, I still kept the beloved original!) When the expanded edition was offered, I got that, too and enjoyed reading about some further adventures of characters I have loved most of my life.

When my only daughter graduated from high school, I gave her her own copy of Shadow Castle to cherish. Years before, this was the book that had made her fall in love with reading. But I also chose it because I want her to always believe that life is filled with more than we may be aware of.

Very highly and happily recommended.

I'm 56 and this is still my favorite book!

I first read this book when I was ten. I have read it to all 5 of my children, and they are grown now and still remember it. I own 2 copies, the original and the expanded version. I love this book, it has so much imagination! If you like any type of magic or fairy tales, or something that's just easy to read and fun, please read it -- You won't be sorry!

Read it again and loved it once more

Although I'll turn 50 this year, I read this little book again today - my original Scholastic version from the 1960s - and fell in love again with the characters. I'm a softy, true, but it made me cry. I came to the Internet hoping Marian Cockrell had written another children's book, perhaps (I dearly hoped) a sequel. Maybe I'll buy the expanded version instead.

This treasure of a book is perfect for your grade-schooler who loves fairies, princesses, or magic. It's also perfect for the wide-eyed adult who's still a child at heart and loves those things as well.

In the middle of a deep forest is an enchanted valley and a castle where only shadows live, shadows of kings and queens who have waited for hundreds of years for the spell cast upon them to be broken.

One day, a girl named Lucy follows a little dog through a tunnel into the valley and meets the mysterious red-haired Michael, who takes her into the shadow world to meet Prince Mika and his mortal wife Gloria, their children and their children's children, and learn the magic that will lift the spell.

This version of Shadow Castle is a new, expanded author's edition with material never published before!
