I originally wanted to read this because I really like Lloyd Alexander, and I hadn't realized he wrote some picture books! When I started reading this, I was immediately charmed by Trina Schart Hyman's illustrations. Such wonderful details and colors! Then the story made me laugh. What a great fortune teller! He says things like: "Rich you will surely be . . . on one condition: that you earn large sums of money," and "You shall wed your true love, if you find her and she agrees. And you shall be happy as any in the world if you can avoid being miserable." He is a fortune teller I can believe in! :) A great story and wonderful, detailed illustrations combine to make a picture book that I enjoyed reading very much.
