The graphics are absolutely marvellous, and the detail behind this "12th Century" rodent society is surprisingly good. The writing's neither Vladimir Nabokov nor C S Lewis, but it's NOT a little kid's book. I feel the ideal audience for this is young adult and/or female ... my girlfriend (35+) whom I gave this to for Valentine's Day agreed with me that it was like "The Calico Critters' Furbanks Family Go Medaeval." -- and loved it, really enjoying the fact that the animals were both realistically drawn AND cute AND conveyed a positive message with a relatively engaging story line. (Her only complaint--some of the print was really small and she had to get her glasses to be able to best read it)
Spoiler Alert: The plot of these six short graphic stories is an interconnected series of stories that starts out as a Dark Ages "Whodunit" but morphs into a mini-epic about a would-be dictator attempting to overthrow/impose an authoritarian rule over all the shires. (The Black Cauldron meets The Two Towers?) As a Libertarian and Ron Paul Revolution sympathiser, very positive message indeed.
Overall, I'd give this 4.75 out of 5 stars, (the -1/4 due to the fact that this isn't Tolkien or Dunsany as far as the writing goes, sorry) and HIGHLY recommend it as a gift for older kids, and girls of most all ages, especially if they like cute little furry animals. (Will be buying Winter 1152, Black Axe and Legends for my beloved in the near future...)
