Mistress Masham's Repose

One of the finest, most magical and extraordinary children's books ever written . . . Children's writers are so often asked, "Which other book in the world do you wish you had written?" By now I must have read tens of thousands. But I still answer, truthfully, "Oh, this one. Definitely, this one"

Anne Fine

Rockets at a cracking pace, full of excitement and drama. The action builds up to a thrilling climax when in the tradition of the best fairy stories, the baddies get their comeuppance and right wins the day . . . A delightful treat, and will require several readings before it reveals all its secrets
