Superbly imaginative and wonderfully illustrated with joy and verve (Sarah Brew Parents in Touch)

A storytime favourite that we've also had great feedback on from parents (The Alligator’s Mouth Bookshop)

This is the perfect antidote to a profusion of pinkness (WRD)

A fun-filled caper full of fairytale characters with fabulous illustrations and lots to spot on every page, and a magical twist at the end to boot. (Surrey Advertiser, Aldershot News & Mail, Buckinghamshire Advertiser & Examiner)

A fun-filled caper full of fairytale characters with fabulous illustrations and lots to spot on every page, and a magical twist at the end to boot (Aldershot News & Mail)

This is a humorous story with lots of child appeal, and attractive illustrations that work well. What I particularly like about this story was its subversion of stereotypes -- not only is the witch perfectly nice and friendly, but Frankie is a girl who wears dungarees and the Brave Knight certainly isn't (School Librarian)
