Reviews

Brilliant ... A delight

—— Philip Pullman

A lyrical modern fable of loneliness and belonging ... A delight to hold and behold

—— Maria Popova , Brain Pickings

Intricate, exquisite... An outstanding gift for five-plus readers

—— Amanda Craig, 'Picture Book of the Year' , New Statesman

[A] brief, beautiful book about overcoming grief . . . If ever there was a reason to down the Kindle and go back to paper, this is it . . . An object of sheer gorgeousness . . . Every page is visually stunning, bringing her fable to life . . . It would, I think, act as a wonderful salve to anyone of any age who has experienced love and loss

—— Alex O'Connell , The Times

It's great . . . Individual, elegantly and impeccably designed, and with a touching story; and it's technically and graphically intriguing

—— David Gentleman

The Fox and the Star is not a Christmas book, but it does have a Christmas feel and, with its decorative clothbound cover, makes a perfect gift. The design and drawing are so beautifully considered that I would like to frame each page

—— Lauren Child, Guardian 'Books of the Year'

Colourful, substantial and something to keep forever

—— Stylist

[The Fox and the Star] has the mood of a classic fable

—— Telegraph

[This] beautifully illustrated picture book contains a moving message about love, loss and learning to accept change
