Reseñas de la Crítica

Absolutely charming

Wonderfully imaginative, full of quirky humour and delightfully illustrated

Gardner's riotous fantasy world includes a multitude of charmingly unlikely characters

A quirky and whimsical read, illustrated with suitably strange and wonderful line drawings. Its oddball protagonists are engaging and it has the feel of an otherworld screwball comedy

Garner is a highly talented storyteller ... charmingly anarchic

Very mysterious ... very funny

Eventful, fast-paced

I looooooooooooooooove this story so much .its so funny and nice.its so cute .so nice.

These are marvelous stories

I rarely listen to anything more than once but these stories are just wonderful. The writing, the characters, the adventures and the brilliant narration make these a pure delight. I listen before bed to put me to sleep. Why shouldn't adults get stories read to them at bed time? I highly recommend these. I hope there are more coming.
