The Pursuit of a King (A Tale of Wisdom) by Candace Christine Little ~ Delightful Read for All Ages!

The Pursuit of a King (A Tale of Wisdom)
My Review: A brilliant allegory of the gift of wisdom, and how it must be sought after.

Barto and Artemerio are two brothers on a quest to solve a riddle, and that quest takes them on a journey that will challenge them to grow in ways they never knew.

There are so many things to love about The Pursuit of a King, it is brilliant and challenging, full of adventure and virtues are learned along the way. Not only that, but this book is one of the special few that I believe is perfect and equally enjoyable for all ages, because everyone will get something out of it! This book would be a perfect book to read aloud to small children, or enjoy by yourself, though after reading this delightful novel I can't help but want to share it :)

I loved the humor, and originality of this tale, and even though I felt like I had figured out the allegory, pretty much from the beginning there were still surprises that kept me turning the pages quite rapidly.

Overall, a wonderfully enjoyable read, that I would happily recommend to nearly all audiences. A truly charming tale, with a timeless quality that will capture your heart!

I received this book from the author in exchange for an honest review. Thank you!
