About this title

Review

'I was thinking to myself the other day, Now who is our current Dick King-Smith? And I wasn't able to answer my question. Then this evening I opened one of today's packages and found this title, just out in paperback. There was my answer. It should have come to me without prompting. Even in paperback this is a lovely specimen of a physical book, with delightful red, grey and brown woodcut style illustrations by Iain McIntosh, whose website is well worth a visit.' --Achuka blog
