“The North Pole Prize” by Caroline Mickelson, review by Daniela Domenici

My love for modern fairy tales written by women has made another center: a new fairy tale by the American writer Caroline Mickelson which has made me smile for the funny adventures at the North Pole lived by the two protagonists, Angelique Devereux, who has won a prize which consists in living for one week at the North Pole, and Garrett McCree, a Scottish engineer who went to live there many years before and has been “adopted” by Santa Claus, by his delicious family and by all the elfs, male and female, who surrounds him.

It is, like all Caroline’s fairy tales which I have read and reviewd till today, a concentrate of tender smiles and overhelming sympathy, all of it always peppered with an unexpected lovestory with its inevitable happy end.

Caroline is, once again, very good in giving us a story full of characters of our time but always soaked with a touch of magic.
