Critics Review
“It is magical and poignant and filled with wonderful characters. I have loved every single one of her books and am always excited for a new one. This one is as equally charming as the first two in this series. You could buy it as a stand-alone to make a perfect gift for a capable younger or MG reader or you could buy all three. It’s a lovely binding with a super dustjacket and heavily illustrated throughout by the talented Sophie Blackall. It’s a sweet 5 out of 5 rating for readers from around 8 years upwards. * Just So Stories *
