It is a delightful book...It looks gorgeous - imo, illustrations are so very important for kids as well as the story. Years ago while doing a graphics course I came across an American couple, Leo & Diane Dillon who met at art school, married & worked together on various things including book illustrations. I eventually managed to get one or two of their books secondhand - one from a Canadian library of all places.

in order to be old & wise, you must first be young & stupid. (I'm still working on that.)
