Summary
THE SUNDAY TIMES AND NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
This enthralling novel, inspired by the 2006 film, illustrates that fantasy is the sharpest tool to explore the terrors and miracles of the human heart
You shouldn't come in here. You could get lost. It has happened before. I'll tell you the story one day, if you want to hear it.
In fairy tales, there are men and there are wolves, there are beasts and dead parents, there are girls and forests.
Ofelia knows all this, like any young woman with a head full of stories. And she sees right away what the Capitán is, in his immaculate uniform, boots and gloves, smiling: a wolf.
But nothing can prepare her for the fevered reality of the Capitán’s eerie house, in the midst of a dense forest which conceals many things: half-remembered stories of lost babies; renegade resistance fighters hiding from the army; a labyrinth; beasts and fairies.
There is no one to keep Ofelia safe as the labyrinth beckons her into her own story, where the monstrous and the human are inextricable, where myths pulse with living blood ...

Complements the film
Not the cheeriest of fairy tales. I don't think the book quite matches the impact of the film but it it provides more background to the main story so well worth a listen.

Enchanted
The movie was a delight but this, with its beautiful delivery and intricately woven detail and emotion, is just so perfect.

Loved this tale
Love how he weaves fantasy into the ophelia’s story - give it a chance - but not if you dislike allegory and metaphor

Fell in love with this dark fairytale all over again
Love love love this book. This is a dark but beautiful fairy tale and I have always loved the film, even though it was subtitled, so I was excited to see that there was an audio book version too.
It had been beautifully and tenderly read and I found myself completely emersed in the story.
The book explains some of the back story behind the characters and some of the key objects, so you have a much deeper understanding of the story. I will definitely be listening to this again, and loved it so much I bought and gifted a copy to a friend.
