Summary: Ironic, intelligent, multi-layered, and wonderful.
Comment: This is a wonderful story! And, the tone is perfect: instructive and lyric, but never pedantic. It has many layers and a wonderful irony that will not be too elusive for children and will delight adults. I think that is what I like best -- the irony and the detailed factually-correct description of life in a cathedral. It even has the cathedral floorplan on the back inside cover of the book!

This book is the book for all children and adults that want "more" than they get with a typical fairy tale.

Summary: Fairy Tale about a gargoyle's coming of age
Comment: For those of you who loved the Narnia Chronicles, this book is for you. The best parts of Tim Burton's Gothic taste, mixed in with Stephen Sondheim's "Into the Woods". This story avoids many mistakes Fairy Tales do. It balances on the line between the adult and child audience and never seems to insult the reader's intelligence.

I cannot remember the last time I was so taken in with a book so simple. And that is why the tale is told so well. It never strays from its path, and gently takes the reader along.

"At the Top of the Cathedral" holds all the magic of those bed time stories we loved when we were little, but now cannot remember.

And best of all the Gargoyles are not cute, nor silly, nor over-the-top ferocious. They're just gargoyles. Like God wanted them to be.
