Media Reviews
Fulvio Testa's illustrations capture the jaunty tone of the storytelling. -- Julia Eccleshare * Guardian, Best Children's Books for Christmas 2012 *
A stunning new edition. The illustrations will have you transfixed . . . It would make a lovely present. * Angels & Urchins *
Vivid illustrations...a huge cast of colourful characters. They make the Disney images look very wooden. * Books for Keeps *
Handsomely produced volume. * Irish Times *
