Rezensionen

'One of the most laconic, tightly-plotted tales of mythical morality you'll ever read, an anti-establishment satire disguised as a love story, more of a scary tale than a fairy tale' Uncut

'A swash-buckling comic fantasy fairytale adventure ... my favourite book in all the world' Waterstone's Guide to Kid's Books
