This long picture book is enjoyable but very strange. The overall story is of a young girl in a mountain kingdom who loves the youngest prince, asks a witch for help winning his love, is kidnapped by a giant and eventually has a happy ending. But the author, Elizabeth Enright (1906-1968) made the interesting decision to invent new names for the flora and fauna of the kingdom all of which begin with the letter T. So we have timtiks, tiptods, timbertocks and timaroons wandering about between characters all named Tagador, Tataspan, Tamin, Taskin and Tackatan. It's hard to keep them all straight, but the bright and luminous illustrations kept me reading to the end.
