Recensione:

A book that feels like an old friend the first time you turn one of its pages. Like coming home again.,,, Here's hoping we see far more of these books in the English language translated for our amusement. A jewel. --Publishers Weekly

The thoughtful and unusual stories have a lightness of touch making these poetic parables a delight for anyone lucky enough to read them. --The Bookseller

L'autore:

Toon Tellegen is one of Holland's most celebrated writers for both children and adults. He started his literary career as a poet, and began writing for children in the mid-1980s. In his dreamlike animal stories, Toon explores his fascination with the incomprehensible and unpredictable side of human behaviour. A G.P. for many years, he now writes full time from his home in Amsterdam. Jessica Ahlberg, daughter of the acclaimed author/illustrator team, Janet and Allen Ahlberg, studied fine art at Winchester College and has gone on to illustrate several books for children. She likes, among other things, writing letters, looking at maps, reading books, doing DIY and making cakes. She lives in Brighton and loves walking by the sea and sometimes swimming in it.
