A lovely short story that swept me away into a magical world full of possibilities. Exquisite cover art. I look forward to reading more of this writer's work.

With the help of Lythgoe's spot on descriptions - not to mention the beautiful cover art - I could practically feel the mirror under my fingers. I own an old mechanical typewriter that I used to write many a poem on when I was younger. It belonged to my father and the clack and clatter of it when he used to write was a well-loved sound to me. Lythgoe's story brings to mind many memories of my youth and childhood and how the simple things were very special. In the Mirror is well crafted, full of deep emotion, wonder, loss, hope and most of all, magic.

A fantastic short story that proves magic is around us, even if we can't see it.

A very enjoyable read. I liked many of the images that were so deftly brought to life by the author--especially the little detail about the boy tracing the mirror's ornately designed wooden frame with his stubby forefinger. This simple tactile description seemed to ground the story in reality, even while the events became magical.

I liked the idea of this book! I would really like to see further into the book though, it has such great potential to be a great novel not just a short story!
