Critics Review
“In all Mairi Hedderwick books the illustrative detail is exquisite-witty and absorbing-enriching the plot.”
This is not only a charming story about a little girl’s woes but it is also a fascinating portrait of life on a small Scottish Island … Children will enjoy looking at the detailed illustrations and trying to figure out Katie’s riddles for themselves * Through the Looking Glass *
