• “It is a joy.”
• “I bought this for my Grand Daughter but couldn’t resist a quick look and ended up reading it all. It’s a delightful tale that incorporates some very important “life lessons” to help the young reader navigate their own life going forward. Congratulations to the author for a first book that does more than just help the reader pass the time by reading a story, it’s much more than that! ” (Amazon review)
• “A lovely book with a mix of realism and folktale ‘magic’. Beautifully presented and illustrated. The themes are very relevant for our world in 21C. The characters are delightful. ” (Waterstones review)

• ” ..it was a real page-turner. I like morality tales and this is certainly one in the fairy tale genre. I think your humour is infectious. Your environmental and moral credentials are brilliant. I also like the way you remind the reader about traditions and prevailing philosophies within Brinepoint. Its gentle irony and structure really appealed to me and will, I am sure, do so to younger readers. Your use of language is extending with a contextual clarification. It’s a pleasing item to hold never mind read.”
