Reviews

  

Delve in if you dare . . .

This book is bursting with boggarts and sprinkled with spiteful marsh sprites; it groans with gruesome ghosts and is awash with wildmen. Full of fools, fiends, friendships and feuding families - there's something in here for every reader!

 

"Sometimes humourous, often making us feel we have brushed against something dark, threatening and inscrutable in the marshes, this is an irresistible collection from a master storyteller. John Lawrence's distinctive wood cut panels and vignettes are the perfect accompaniment".

Linda Newbery
