I did sort of a tandem read of this translation and a different translation on audio read by Alexander Fink.
My mom always encouraged me to read and constantly threw books at me as a kid, but they were never classic kids lit, so 99% of all classic children's lit I've read, I've read as an adult. That's a long way of saying, this is the first time I ever read this. But I'm soooooooo glad I finally found it. This is such a beautiful book about what's important in life, and maybe it's just my wacky mood at the moment, but I cried and cried at the end. So lovely.
Just all the love for this.
