Recensioner i media

Lucy Strange has done a brilliant job in ensuring that the narrative retains its character and hasn’t dumbed down the language that has been used so that this is very clearly an old story but is one that is accessible to its modern audience. A great choice for confident readers in Year 4 upwards, I’m sure there will be many adults who – like me – enjoy it hugely too.
