Reviews

Vesco's world resembles a fairy tale version of 18th-century France, where ignorance and cruelty hold little power against cleverness and kindness. Kerascoët's charming, lightly cartoony art and evocative character designs brim with energy, practically leaping off the page. The result is a delightful adventure ideal for fans of Jules Feiffer. * Publishers Weekly *
