A book for your child to treasure - and, in time, share with their own children. * The Good Book Guide *
Inga Moores' illustrations are truly enchanting. With faultless draughtmanship, witty characterisation, a mass of period detail and breathtaking evocations of the English countryside. * The Guardian *
With its wit, charm and finesse, and its atmospheric use of colour, her work rewards endless exploration. -- Joanna Carey * The Financial Times *
