Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Tailor-made for fantasy readers and readers who like to compare the book and the screen version. Its magic has rules, and the story plays by them. A good follow-up to Tom Jones. Adapted from a book, so readers can compare notes.
The mood
Light and funny, romantic.
The pace
Quick and easy-going, at 1 hr 31 min.
What might put you off
  • It's in another language, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Made in 1953: an older pace and style.
  • Not the pick if you want something heavy or meaningful.

The new steward of Siltala ends up falling in love with the beautiful widow of the house. Their romance is endangered by misunderstandings and the fact that the estate of Siltala is swimming in debt. And the new steward isn't quite what he seems to be.
