Media Reviews
'The first of six rumbustious adventures, it enjoys Blytonesque jollities and gorgeous grotesques drawn by Ted Dewan.' Amanda Craig, The Times Sophie Masson is decidedly a captivating narrator who certainly knows how to hypnotise her readers. Lollipops Reading one of Sophie Masson's books is like standing on top of a lonely mountain at midnight, under a star-filled sky ... Her work has that same sense of clarity, magic and mystery ... Garth Nix One of the strengths of Masson's work is this creation of parallel worlds of fantasy which interweave with the old folk tale but also produce echoes of myth. Australian Book Review CARABAS: 'A sophisticated and timeless tale of magic and human nature.' Weekend Australian THE TEMPESTOUS VOYAGE OF HOPEWELL SHAKESPEARE: 'Masterly' The Times CLEMENTINE: 'A fabulous novel ...' Adele Geras
