When I was a young girl, my mom and I went to a used book shop and I found Shadow Castle, and thought it looked interesting. I fell in love with the characters and the magic of it. I read it until the cover came off. Last Year I had mentioned that I would love a new copy, but no one could find it in the book stores, because it was out of print. Well imagine my surprise when I opened this enchanting tale from my past. My mom had found it and I was able to read the adventure and romance again, just like when I was little. I love it. Any girl who wants or wanted to be a fairy princess would!!! It has all the elements of a wonderful story with a suprise ending that is perfect!

One Christmas when I was 8 or 9,Santa brought me a wonderful book---Shadow Castle. I am sure through the years I must have read it 100 times. Today I am 60 years old. Like so many others who have reviewed this book, my copy disappeared, and I have searched and searched for a replacement. Just on a chance, I typed in the name on amazon.com,and there it was. Those who have tried to find this book know the feeling that I had after all those years of serious searching.And the book is just as imaginative and romantic as it was when I was a little girl. The first thing I looked for was the picture of Robin and Bluebell. It is just as I remember it. The wonderful ending where the shadows move around is still so excititng. To think that a thousand years and seven days have gone by. What a love story! I shall read it 100 times more, and those times shall be even better because there are grandchildren to read it to.

I read Shadow Castle when I was nine, having purchased it at a book fair at our school. I was immediately captivated by the story and also the lovely heroine Gloria. I vowed that my first daughter would be named after that character. I lent the book to a friend who subsequently lost it. I was heartbroken. I was truly lost without that book. It was my favorite and I re-read it constantly. Eventually I gave up my search, only to resume when I gave birth to my first daughter, Gloria. I wanted her to see the book from which I took her name. It took me years to find another copy, and I only did so with the assistance of some kind gentleman who worked for the Philadelphia Inquirer. I immediately shared it with my Gloria, who was also nine, just as I was when I first read the book. Now -that- copy is lovingly worn, as we had read it many times over. It was my intention to give Gloria the new copy of the book, but I have yet to part with it. I feel the book really belongs to her, but I don't want to lose it! So I was so thrilled to see that Amazon offers this book. Now I can give my beautiful, married 24 year old Gloria her own copy of the book and illustrations of the lovely princess after whom Gloria was named. RS Maple Shade, NJ

I am so pleased to find this book on Amazon.Com! I read this when I was a 6th grader back in 1966 and have not been able to find it for my own daughter in any bookstore. I am going to order it, as much for me as for her I think...
