The Diamond Tree is a classic fairy tale that is a fun read for kids and for adults who read to kids. Children will identify with the somewhat petulant Prince Dall as he seeks adventure and tries to outdo his older brothers. As one adult reader commented, "This is a wise and funny fairy tale which may well become a classic myth." Another commented, ..."in a form that is difficult to do well, this is a story that maintains its tone and irony throughout while generating suspense."
