Media Reviews
Ross Collins' striking illustrations combine a Winnie-the-Pooh cuddle factor with a dark imagination reminiscent of Tenniel's drawings for Alice. -- TES Tom MacRae is such a talented and sensitive writer. I love this book. I only wish he'd written it thirty years earlier than I could have loved it as a child. --Matthew Cain, Culture Editor, Channel 4 News From the Trade Paperback edition.
