Table of ContentsReviewsPRAISE FOR TANGLEWRECK: 'Winterson has a fine ear for children's dialogue and her writing is lucid, pitched perfectly at imaginative young readers' Sunday Telegraph 'An exceptional book: big, ambitious and awash with Winterson's usual inventiveness' Observer 'No one could fail to enjoy the book's exuberance of ideas and wacky charm' Evening Standard Praise for 'The Battle of the Sun': 'Winterson's prose is incantatory, using repetition and resonant tautologies ... This is not a book to dash through. It is one to read slowly or aloud, in order to explore its complexity' Nicolette Jones, The Sunday Times 'A beautifully crafted tale ... it's obvious in every word, every plot twist, and every character that Winterson had fun writing The Battle of the Sun. This book radiates enjoyment, and the reader can bask in it. I was mesmerised by craft of an endlessly inventive author writing at the height of her power' Guardian Praise for 'Tanglewreck': 'An exceptional book: big, ambitious and awash with Winterson's usual inventiveness' Observer 'Winterson has a fine ear for children's dialogue and her writing is lucid, pitched perfectly at imaginative young readers' Sunday Telegraph Author InformationAuthor Website: http://www.bloomsbury.com/Authors/details.aspx?tpid=802Jeanette Winterson's first novel for children, Tanglewreck, was widely admired.
