Thanks. :) It would be a crying shame if it didn't exist in English translation, though. It made such a strong impression on me as a young teenager, I still can quote sentences in Hungarian. I especially liked the description of the Queen's garden, with the golden bees that had wings of flame.
I agree with you about movies. The best fairytale pieces I ever saw were Czech adaptations of the tales of the Grimm Brothers. And of Czech folk tales. They took the stuff quite seriously and made wonderful pieces, enjoyable for young and old alike.
