About this title

Review:

PRAISE FOR THE SERIES: "The Ramion series are the beautifully illustrated adventures of Snuggle the cat whose job is to protect a family of brothers from the evil Witch Griselda. There is a magical air of excitement and a rapid pace of action in the words. The colourful gouache pictures that accompany each page allow children and their parents to let their imagination drift into the stories. Together they will explore worlds which involve cannibals, dwarfs, dragons and knights: all the things that make a real adventure..." -- Forparentsbyparents. "...a fast-paced ping-pong of dialogue and plenty of stomach-churning action. There is also a satisfyingly high 'yuck' quota..." -- Daily Telegraph. "Boys do love to read -- they just want stories with pace, adventure..." -- Rachel Carlye, Daily Telegraph. "...classic children's stories with a local twist." -- Sevenoaks Chronicle
