Fun, Witty, and Brilliant. A fairytale like you haven't read before. This was such an enjoyable read! From the very beginning you realize that this isn't just your average fairytale:-
... with the author's fun and witty humor and the interesting and flawed characters, I found myself smiling and not wanting the story to end.
... if you're looking for a light, fun, entertaining story that will appeal to some young readers and adults alike, then give this a try. A fun read from beginning to end.
... it got my interest from the very beginning and it was such a fun, fun, fun, story.
... I think this book would be best suited to children up to the age of 12 however it would make a great story to read together as a family too.

'Gritta and the Witches of Olavland is a fun story starring Krog the frog prince and Gritta the witch. It follows his adventures, and those of King Olav, as he tries to take his place back as the prince of Olavland, and eschew his frog-like tendencies.
Written well, with lots of fun, campy third-wall breaks, this is a fun story for children. It presents gently, and takes a lot of care to tell the tale in a way children can absorb, but still does so with class. Highly recommended as a fun, gentle adventure for children.' (EDITORS WEEKLY)
