“Koshka’s Tales is a marvellous book, its language as glossy and gratifying as its artwork. Its tales within a tale, as fatly plaited as any sultana’s hair, weave real Eastern enchantment.” – Geraldine McCaughrean – The Times
“A vibrant and accessible collection… and illustrations that sparkle like a Faberge egg.” – Publisher’s Weekly (US)
“Not only does he write fluently with rhythm, pace and pithy humour – a rare talent for an artist – he paints with intricate line and shadow and garish abandon: golden cupolas and icons, flowing turquoise and russet sarafans, sea-green nymphs, tall dark firs, ruddy snub-nosed peasants and hirsute, hook-nosed haradans… he succeeds in preserving the authentic folklore tradition.” – James Riordan – Times Educational Supplement
“Deserves an honoured place in any collection.” – Ralph Lavender, School Librarian Magazine
