As for the story itself, I'm unsure if I've read it before, if I've ever had it read to me, or if I've just known about it for so long that I feel like I must've read it. It's a fantastic story, full of wit and charm. I kept thinking, while reading it, that it'd be great if Aardman got their hands on this and made a film of it, it's full of that classic English kind of humour. There's action and adventure, and plenty of magic. I loved it.

Never having seen the shorter version, I cannot comment on what was left out, but the full story is well worth it.
