Editorial Reviews
Review
"'A collection of charm and tenderness' DAILY TELEGRAPH 'Deceptively elegant... these brilliant stories shine through in a way that is wholesome, engaging and highly rewarding' HERALD 'These stories are still beautiful; creating a wryly humorous place where the animal and human worlds are fluidly in touch with each other, and, as in all the best fables, you take a lesson away with you' METRO"
