Media Reviews
'The voice of earth herself is echoed in a grandmother's wisdom and these stories do indeed reflect a closeness to the natural world.' - Books For Keeps 'This should prove irresistible to grandmothers.' - The Bookseller 'A collection of 'wise woman' tales that are superbly retold and have excellent illustrations to match the text. All the tales are well told with a liveliness that makes reading aloud, or private reading, a treat.' - Child Education
