Review: I am not religious, so Dickerson is not an author I would normally read from. However, since I first started reading her Hagenheim series in high school I have read the entire series, as well as her Medieval Fairy Tale series and the Dericott Tales series. While religion is a major factor in her books, it is not overwhelmingly so. For religious readers and the non-religious who are not against reading about religious beliefs and ways of life I believe Dickerson is a wonderful author and I strongly recommend her Hagenheim and Medieval Fairy Tale series.
