Reviews

Delightful

—— Daily Telegraph

They seem to grow in wisdom and delight every time I read them...a perfect marriage of word and picture.

—— Philip Pullman

It's not just Tove Jansson's wonderfully strange fairytale world that so appeals but also her beautiful line work and exquisite sense of design.

—— Lauren Child

Features one of the most eccentric families in children's fiction . . . A rollicking red, which rapidly draws the reader into its strange and gothic world

—— Waterstones Books Quarterly

Wonderful stuff
