Review:
It's 19th-century England during the reign of King James II, but it's not the England we know from the history books. This country is overrun with wolves that roam the forests, providing the perfect setting for a witty and dramatic story spanning the whole country, from the frozen North to the city of London, and peopled with all manner of evil governesses and ancient aunts.
Review:
Filled with brilliantly-drawn Dickensian characters, it would make an excellent choice for strong preteen readers who like an old-fashioned story with a strong plot and good characterisation. This book often appears on lists of best-loved children's books. (Ages 10 to 12) EN
"A wild and evocative fantasy, stylishly told, with a tremendous romantic appeal" (Observer)
"Altogether an invigorating book, in which the wit and nonsense make such a sparkling fizz together that it is hard to tell one from the other" (Times Literary Supplement)
"One genuine small masterpiece. Almost a copy-book lesson in those virtues that a classic children's book must possess" (Time Magazine)
"Joan Aiken is a marvel" (Philip Pullman Guardian)
"Any child who discovers it will fall in love, not only with Aiken’s writing, but with reading . . . Aiken was a genius, and her reissue deserves howls of delight." (The Times)
