Hilary McKay is back! . . . She's inventive, funny and will always make you laugh . . . the oldest stories given fresh life
I'm reading this utterly beautiful collection of fairy tales by Hilary McKay... and it's delicious and biting and wise
So breathtakingly beautiful, it's literally giving me chills . . . gorgeous and perfectly drawn out for kids AND adults . . . pretty sure this is the very best book I've read this year. It is thrillingly good.
Hilary McKay has re-written ten well-known fairy tales with her usual charm and warmth. I love them! ... You want to read this collection, and you want to come to it fresh, to see what Hilary has done with our old favourites. How she has made them into new favourites. This is really something.
