This is a book steeped in mastery and magic. It is one of those examples of children’s fiction being infinitely more complex and grown up than anything written for adults. It is an entire universe unto itself and yet belongs firmly to Erin, the Island of Destiny. Life is better with this book in it.

Brilliant reading of a wonderful story. I couldn’t stop listening and didn’t want it to end. There is magic and solace in it that can’t be defined. Thoroughly recommended.

A pure joy
