Reviews
- Praise for Short! 'Each [story is] a masterpiece of brevity and narrative skill' - Carousel
- . . . this is a brilliant book . . . - TES
- . . . an espresso-cup collection which condenses the author's distinguished career as a reteller of folk-tales into bite-sized fables with a strong after-taste effect. - Literary Review
- Praise for Kevin Crossley-Holland 'Crossley-Holland retells old folk tales better than anyone else alive.' - Lynn Gardner, The Guardian
- Praise for The Seeing Stone '...as bright and as vivid as pictures in a Book of Hours. Deep scholarship, high imagination, and great gifts of storytelling have gone into this; I was spellbound.' - Philip Pullman (Guardian Children's Book Supplement)
