long-ago world of danger and heartbreak accessible without ever
patronising his young readers.” – Sunday Mercury “Morpurgo, as
always, is subtle and skillful, and incorporates social and moral
issues into his writing without being self-righteous or detracting
from the quality of the narrative”

has the happy knack of speaking to both child and adult readers.”
