Now, before I start, let it be known that I've never really gotten rid of any of my books. Ever. Except for some of the trashy series from my grade school days (babysitter's club, boxcar children, etc.) I have every book I've ever owned and liked enough to finish.

So I have a lot of books.

Somewhere along the line I lost this one, but unlike some of my other books which could probably disappear without me knowing, I missed this one. Out of all the books I noticed this one was gone and missed it enough to track it down and find it on Amazon and get it delivered to me. And you know what? It was worth it.

This book is delightful. It's filled with all the wonderful pieces of fairy tales that I love, from knights in not-so-shiny armor, to dragons, to wizards. But it's also realistic, with real characters that are occasionally weak and often doubt themselves. And no matter how many times I read the ending, that last stanza of verse makes me cry. Please, read this book.

This was a brilliant faery tale, told as one should be. The story is full of quests, meandering through woods and mountains, wizards gardens and terrifying castles. The characters are unexpected but so fitting for the story. What I love about this book is that the story is not as straightforward as you might think; just when you're sure the Quest is over, you realize there are 100 pages left to go and are constantly surprised by the authors ingenuity and yet the simplicity is stunning. Wonderful book, a must-read for those who love fantasy.
I love this book. When I had it as a kid i read it so much it fell apart. It made me so sad i cried. I finally tracked down another copy and i was so happy to have it back. It's the one book in existence I would want to preserve forever I love it that much. However that copy got stolen so now I am just glad has another copy I can buy because last time I almost gave up hope of finding it.
First thing of all...I'm afraid to say that the illustration for the front cover is quite misleading. Actually, the heroine in this story is no supermodel with luscious lips and professional eye makeup - but an innocent little girl who was forced to wear a mask because her face had been cruelly disformed by the wicked witch who kept her and all her beloved pets prisoners by painfully embedding precious jewels into various parts of their bodies to keep them from escaping. But the heroine and her animal friends all managed to escape and then went off on a very perilous journey in search for an enchanted dragon who would free them from their hurts and handicaps. And at the same time, an unkempt knight soon came across the unlikely troop and thus decided to join them. The great adventures that followed took very wild turns and twists into VERY scary situations as well as truly magical scenes that any fantasy fans would gladly indulge in. Very humorous and whimsical, yet...also sexist in a sense. Especially the ending which I DIDN'T LIKE AT ALL! So I never even bothered to finish it at all. Too Cinderella and Snow-Whitish for my liking. But if you can get past this kind of arrogance on the author's part, you would doubtlessly enjoy it anyway.
I simply love fantasies! Not only do they take you completely away from your familiar world but most times, if it's well written, they have some very insightful lessons as well. This one touches on it all - dispair, strength, love, caring, giving, loss and laughter. Great job!
I have read fantasies for many years now and am amazed at how thought provoking they can be. A different way to look at life. The Unlikely Ones didn't let me down. The story unfolded so effortlessly that I was carried away in the adventure at a time in my life when I really needed to be carried away!
The story was so believable in it's far-out-ness! The relationships that Thing had with the animals was so real that I believe it! A great complimentary book for the Unlikely Ones is Kinship With All Life, by J. Allen Boone. They are so different but so much the same! Amazing and wonderful!
A good read, for fantasy lovers and those new to the genre. I first read this in high school, about 12 years ago. I loved it so much, i had to buy and read it again.
wonderful
Mary Brown is a fantasy writer who has been sadly overlooked and forgotten. Her writing is lyrical and beautiful and this story is whimsical and charming. I have a stack of her books and plan on working my way through them all.
