What They're Saying
Critics Review
“The richly colored, Brueghel-like illustrations feature intricate, comical scenes of the Gothamites in all their splendid incompetence.” — Kirkus Reviews
“Fantastic things change into usual, the supernatural is described as the most natural; and everyday life is turned into an extraordinary and interesting fancy world … Yes that is the way of the author: to give thrilling adventures, nothing but thrilling adventures.” –Andres Jaaksoo
