"Exuberant, intelligent fun ... Once again Pullman has created a work of art that is enchanting for a child but equally appealing to an adult" The Times "Tantalisingly short, irresistibly snappy and full of dangerous derring-do" Independent "This is a real treat, and easily one of the publishing hightlights of the year that will be devoured by fans old and new" The Bookseller "Small and elegant, the book is exquisitely illustrated with woodcuts by John Lawrence and rounded off with bits of memorabilia including a newspaper clipping giving a different spin on events plus a board game. Fast and powerful, this is an exciting read" Carousel "A short, simple, elegant story ... cloth-bound, with enhancing woodcuts by master-engraver John Lawrence" Spectator
