“It’s perfect! I picture it like the Hundred Acre Wood…only in Felling. Just as magic, though.”
“Didn’t know what to expect…perhaps a 21st century interpretation of a classic fairy tale…a well-intended pastiche of a Grimm maybe…but certaily not the affectionate, poignant, passionate tale that I proceeded to devour I really enjoyed this diary, family saga, travelogue and love story. It’s all of these and more….”
“Greatly enjoyed The Princess of Felling by Elaine Cusack. Odd tangential points of contact with my roughly contemporary and congeographic life – Jesmond school, Bloodaxe Books…Contains a splendid Tom Baker story.”
“Was so tempted to gobble this down in one sitting but forced myself to savour small delightful morsels. Just beautiful. And I’d forgotten all about skinshees!”
“I have smiled, nodded, chortled, reminisced, felt nostalgic and cried. Elaine has helped me to recall my own experiences in a parallel universe with exactly 5.9 miles and 1 year between us…”
“In parts it’s educational, nostalgic, humorous, sometimes evoking sad memories for me and lovely memories too. The story telling is seamless and impressive; I summed it up as being a delight!”
“It isn’t long enough! You get to the end and you want more! I love that it’s full of nostalgia and gentle pathos, but shot through with such a delightful, whimsical humour. It’s made me do what I never imagined I’d do: roam around the streets of Felling on Google Earth, looking for the places where these magic events occurred.”
