Praise for "One Is One" and Barbara Leonie Picard

Shortlisted for the Carnegie Medal

"Her narratives have the ring of tales told by skald and bard, and her choice of words would fill great halls. Her literary fairy tales are lushly romantic, with poetic language and an almost other-worldly knowledge that informs and enriches them. Open one of her books and read it aloud. See how her words will still echo in the storytelling rooms and libraries that have become our great halls."Janice M. Del Negro

"In "One is One "there is a large cast of entirely credible characters and a good contrast is pointed between fourteenth-century courtly and monastic life. The strength of this book derives from its concern with important themesloneliness, loyalty, courage and love; above all, self-knowledge.""The Spectator"

"Miss Picard has been bold in choosing for her hero a weakling and a coward. The final resolution of Stephen's doubts, though not unexpected, is most beautifully handled.""The Times Literary Supplement"
