Review:
Never putting a foot wrong, the result is a magical complexity-in-simplicity that is sure to become a classic in its own right -- Adam Lively * Sunday Times * Philip Pullman has radically reworked the Grimm tales for all ages -- Nicolette Jones * Telegraph * One of Pullman's most useful additions is the vastly improved poems and jingles...his freer versions are catchy and authentic * Guardian * I've admired Philip Pullman since his early fantasy Galatea on through the splendid trilogy His Dark Materials. All of his gifts, including his prose eloquence, and his endless high Romantic imagination, are manifested in this marvelous retelling of Grimm -- Harold Bloom
