Review:

“Funny and wise” Cressida Cowell, author of ‘How to Train Your Dragon’

Praise for The Phantom Tollbooth:
‘An altogether remarkable book, one that should delight any bright child, and that will be no burden for a parent to read aloud. Related with unflagging wit and a marvellous sense of the fun to be had with words, this book will be enjoyed by children for years to come.’ Spectator

Praise for Elidor:
‘Each detail, ordinary or sinister, establishes atmosphere, background or character exactly. Elidor is a remarkable book: intelligent, rich and terrifying.’
TLS

Praise for The Sword in the Stone:
‘One of the most significant books in my life...One of the greatest and most influential fantasy novels of the last hundred years.”
Garth Nix
