Reviews

'As a project, the book and its interplay of dialogue are profoundly new, casting into question myths and prejudices that have often hindered an authentic, meaningful relationship with art ... This book is a gift for all ages' - Bologna Ragazzi awards jury, Winner of the New Horizons award

'So inspired and patiently crafted, with such a beautiful palette. When I read it, it was as if I was transported to my childhood - miraculous. These days, at the push of a button one can reference all these amazing artistes, which will open the door to worlds of music that seep deep into the soul, and our personal shambhala. This book really is a beautiful gift and a work of art' - Chaz Jankel 'An amazing history of music, really brought to life by the illustrations and diverse examples!' - Alexis Taylor, Hot Chip 'Hurrah! An eminently readable, resolutely unsoppy guide to the exciting, often cryptic world of music. Rose Blake's characteristically witty and saucy illustrations throughout will delight her fans of all ages' - Nick Lowe
