Su questo libro

Recensione:

“A dreamy evocation of a mysterious time.”
–School Library Journal

“More than a ‘picture’ book, yet less than a novel, it magically mixes myth and reality in a dense, riveting tale that will haunt readers of all ages long after the last page.”
–The Toronto Star

“Strange historical story results in a luminous book.”
–The Globe and Mail

“Dippers is that rare book that appeals to both adults and children on several levels at once. Set in 1912 near the Don River in Toronto, the book melds the ordinary and the fantastic in a haunting fiction.”
–Quill & Quire

“Although Barry Moser’s splendid illustrations evoke instant nostalgia for sweeter, simpler times, Nichol’s prose rudely jerks the reader back to ‘reality’...Yet there is a toughness about the characters that is both painful and wonderful to contemplate. Highly recommended.”
–Canadian Book Review Annual
