A captivating, funny and beautifully imagined fable
*Sunday Telegraph*
Startlingly beautiful...an eloquent example of the games a fine
storyteller can play
*Independent on Sunday*
A beautiful book... It's like a bridge, built between generations,
fabulous and strange and from the heart
*Neil Gaiman*
A bustling and minutely imagined fabular landscape, crammed with
allegorical figures and places...its exuberance is inextricably
linked to its profligacy with puns, rhymes, one liners and snippets
of nonsense... It captures brilliantly that moment when adults
enrapture children by behaving like children themselves
*Guardian*
A playful, inventive statement to a son, a story of growing up and
imminent self-awareness, a tale of magic
*Sunday Herald, Christmas round up*
