Media Reviews
'The combination of direct text and extra cartoon-strip action provides a perfect vehicle for the high-quality information that is packed within the pages of these attractive and unpretentious books. The humour is never overdone, intrusive or gratuitous, and all the elements of art, design and text combine effortlessly to provide an accessible and memorable introduction to these important people from our history, simultaneously providing a rich social context.' -- Nicole Morgan LOOK AT A BOOK (THE GUARDIAN)
