Critics Review
An ingenious moral tale
An ingenious moral tale * Glasgow Herald *
This classic story, first published in 1930, immediately seduces the reader with its hilarious world existing just under the surface of our own… Full of good jokes – mainly at the expense of the Fattypuffs – and good drawings by Fritz Wegner * Guardian *
One of our favourite books as children – Kevin Crossley-Holland * Daily Mail *
