“Juvenilia from a genius, showing bright signs of future masterworks.” —Kirkus Reviews

“This collection of short stories is eerily reminiscent of Roald Dahl’s tales of humor and irony, while the illustrations are remarkably similar to Quentin Blake’s. . . . The oddness of the stories makes them funny and unique.” —School Library Journal
