Here is a fairy tale in which, while bad things happen, the message of empowerment - a child can dream and choose and become what she wants to be - is louder. With a style reminiscent of Alice in Wonderland and The Wizard of Oz, Eloise in the Land of Beginnings brings a modern theme to the genre of fairy tales suitable for children. -- Claire Bell, author and teacher
