Media Reviews
`Marvellous ... a delicious ambiguity, a parable which is both loaded and ingenious' * Independent *
`Mills's comedy shares its anthropological glee with The League of Gentlemen...This shouldn't be a speedy page-turner, but it is; light reading with real depth' * Guardian *
`Pythonesque ... Quirky, deadpan and quietly unhinged' * Scotsman *
`Magnus Mills goes from strength to strength...Three to See the King develops his idiosyncratic vision with wry intelligence and wit' * Spectator *
