If you liked book one, I guarantee that you'll love book 2. Perhaps you'll latch onto, "flash-fried" or "tchotchkes" or "String-Chi" or "Hwah!" Take your pick. I"m sure you'll find your own word favorites. I like the made-up word "sparzle" because I can use it when I have writer's block. A steady beat of wordplay highlights Healy's forte for clever dialogue, asides, and epigraph's that make for laugh out loud passages while poking fun at the hero concept. Don't worry, the Princes Charming bumble plans that would do Elmer Fudd proud as their adventure leads them to recover the Sword of Erinthia from the Bandit King causing all sorts of "sparzle" or unpredictable twists and turns in the plot. You need to set aside your "doohickeys and dingle-dangles" and snort-laugh as the League of Princes reunite in order to rescue Liam who has been kidnapped by Briar Rose. Healy takes the delicate business of writing children's comedy and makes it a hoot for children and adults alike. His first book, "A Hero's Guide to Saving Your Kingdom," was hysterical - sometimes at the expense of the plot - but this one strikes the right balance with more depth, solid plot, and a fun cliff hanger ending. It's a home for those seeking solitude, easy-living and a daily celebration of the good life.Christopher Healy is the Groucho Marx of fractured fairy tales. The walk in wardrobe would make Carrie Bradshaw gasp and the en-suite bathroom has dual basins and an enormous wet shower with his n' hers monsoon shower heads making it the perfect conference room! Set in landscaped grounds and snugly nestled on a north facing site with Dingle Reserve and beautiful St Heliers Beach all nearby, this home is a special tribute to the builder's vision. The master bedroom is an elegant boudoir. The third level of the home has three further bedrooms all large doubles. A food preparation area cleverly concealed behind opaque doors beside the huge pantry demonstrates an intelligent blend of design and function. The adjacent kitchen has been thoughtfully re-modelled using state of the art appliances. A fireplace and covered portico make this area a versatile year-round outdoor room for entertaining and relaxing with family and friends.
Beyond this is a more casual family area with large sectional sliders onto the terrace and pool. The spacious formal living and dining room with north facing picture window looks out onto the trees of Dingle Reserve area. Ascend the oak staircase with its glass and stainless steel balustrade to the heart of the home. The laundry room and separate bathroom are tiled in the white, soft grey and pale taupe tones, the predominant theme throughout the home. A versatile room, this area could be a teenage play space, rumpus room, home theatre cinema option or guest accommodation. Off this is the first of the home's three living areas. A portico leads to the front door which opens to reveal the large reception hall. The total refurbishment and impeccable conversion of this spectacular luxury residence is worth visiting. In a peaceful leafy neighbourhood surrounded by other prestigious homes, this transformation will take your breath away.
