"The marriage of sparse, but quite challenging text, with a radiant mix of paints, pattern and mosaics makes that of the Bengali Princess with the humble weaver a rich experience. French's superb artwork begins with dazzling endpapers which would be a wonderful stimulus for art lessons...This extraordinarily rich book is one to savour. It will enhance any Primary library."
