Critics Review
-
Here Connolly steps directly into the enchanted forest, and the journey along its twisting path is as sinister and unsettling as anything invented by the Brothers Grimm . . . Connolly’s control of this material is superb; tension, terror and gallows humour make the book a gripping read. But this allegorical coming-of-age story also cleverly shows the way that traditional stories have been used to reflect the sometimes harsh concerns of our world.
Daily Mail -
It’s imaginative, funny, sad and profound – fairy tales within a fairy tale, a child’s adventure, a fantasy journey; it’s about growing old and has the last word on dying . . . Each re-reading still brings a sigh and a moment of reflection.
Radio Times -
A moving fable, brilliantly imagined, about the agony of loss and the pain of young adulthood.
The Times -
Connolly imagines the emotional cave-in of puberty intelligently, even perceptively
Guardian -
Engaging, magical, thoughtful read
Independent -
A new interpretation of old fairy tales, it is imaginative and beautifully written.
