Review:
"This is a gem of a book . . . Each tale sparkles with magic." (Junior Education)
"A collection of charm and tenderness." (Daily Telegraph)
"Deceptively elegant... these brilliant stories shine through in a way that is wholesome, engaging and highly rewarding." (Herald)
"These stories are still beautiful; creating a wryly humorous place where the animal and human worlds are fluidly in touch with each other, and, as in all the best fables, you take a lesson away with you." (Metro)
