Review:
"Unforgettable to the last full stop. One of the great classics" (Michael Morpurgo, Children's Laureate)

"Janusz Korczak is an important writer... His message is still relevant today, that children matter; indeed that they should be a priority in our culture, because it's only with a child's imagination that grown-ups can begin to conceive a better world" (Yann Martel, author of 'Life of Pi')

"Absolutely wonderful. A gripping and classic entertainment from start to shocking finish. Definitely a book for all ages" (Matt Haig, author of 'The Last Family in England')

"The spirit of Korczak, living on, could make a better world for all humans" (Publisher's Weekly)

"Droll and melancholy, wry and touching, King Matt is a fable that offers a fierce, truthful picture of children struggling to make sense of grown-up nonsense... This small masterpiece is a rare tribute to the psychological depth and marvellous workings of a child's heart and mind" (Maurice Sendak, author of 'Where the Wild Things Are')
From the Publisher:
'A masterpiece. We need King Matt now, in our world, more than ever' Maurice Sendak, author of Where the Wild Things Are
