Recenzii

"Joan Aiken is a marvel" -- Philip Pullman Guardian "A writer of wild humour and unrestrained imagination" Oxford Companion to Children's Literature "Rumbustious ... The reader is entranced by Joan Aiken's language and imagination, grotesque characters, picturesque settings and hilarity" Writeaway.org.uk
