It's definitely a classic in the making, I'm sure I'll be pushing this book on anyone who enjoys a good laugh. Well written, witty and such a lovely fairy tale based on a very strange premiss. The aunts are hilarious and the money made from the book reverts to good causes, what is there not to like? Buy it, you won't regret it!
