Critics Review
“Nancy Willard’s imagination—in verse or prose, for children or adults—builds castles stranger than any mad King of Bavaria ever built. She imagines with a wonderful concreteness. But also, she takes real language and by literal-mindedness turns it into the structure of dream.” —Donald Hall, The New York Times“Both author and illustrator weave tapestries in which make-believe and reality blend joyfully…The only works comparable in pure romance and humor to the Anatole stories are the inventions of Lewis Carroll.” —Publishers Weekly
