Critic Reviews

“The illustrations are modern-looking, with stylized shapes and striking color combinations, but somehow also timeless. [...] It's a wildly imaginative take on the story, and it elevates the original poem and gives it additional context. [...] It's a visually stunning book, with a simple yet lovely storyline to go along with it.-Portland Book Review”

Deliberate, ethereal and playful, Robert Louis Stevenson's classic poem of childhood is given new meaning in the details of the illustrations.-The Wandering Bookseller
