Briefly

"A good children's book thrills its readers with ripping adventures and strong characters; it evokes mental images that can stay imprinted for ever."
"Leith adds a more personal angle, having revisited many old favourites with his own children, resulting in a thoughtful, witty and warmhearted journey through works from different periods."
