A Tale of Two Castles Review
This was unlike any other fairytale Levine has created! Very loosely inspired by Puss in Boots (and by inspired, it has cats, and that’s where the similarities end), Levine creates a distinct new kingdom where 12-year old Elodie sets off to apprentice herself as a mansioner. That’s the word for actor over there. But apprenticenships…
