Sumptuously illustrated... the poems or nature summoning spells are indebted to Gerard Manley Hopkins with rich alliteration, word-play and compound adjectives [and] the illustrations make plants and creatures luminous against backgrounds of gold leaf

   Detta är en bok jag önskar alla, stora som små.. att bara bläddra i, att läsa högt och läsa tyst. Varje sida är en upptäcktsfärd i sig, visuellt och språkligt.
