I picked this up as it was mentioned at an author talk I attended. I was hoping for whimsy and magic but instead I found it overwritten and hard to follow - although this may be down to the 1907 writing style. 
The main characters were hard to differentiate and basically … I was bored. 

Also, while I appreciate that it is off it’s time, I found the repeated use of the N word and references to Indians very jarring.
