Review
Brings alive a period and it's people so immediately, it's almost painful... This is an arresting piece of work that takes the picture book into another dimesion. * Scotland on Sunday * This gentle, romantic story ends on a note of aching joy that brought a tear to the eye of this reviewer. * The Irish Times *
