Reviews

[Fern · Rating 3 out of 5]

A wild and wonderful tale had me giggling from start to finish.

In amongst the brilliant black and white illustrations and all the marvellous medieval mayhem, author-illustrator Dolan has captured the importance of friendship and being yourself, even if you get a little distracted along the way.

A must read for fans of Roald Dahl and Mr Gum!
