Critics Review

‘Thank goodness for Michael Morpurgo’ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Telegraph

‘Moving, unique and utterly charming. This is why Michael Morpurgo is the nation’s favourite storyteller’ Hannah Gold, author of The Last Bear

‘A hymn to the things that matter: loyalty and love, courage and compassion. This is storytelling that thrums with wisdom and warmth.’ Abi Elphinstone

‘A truly wonderful story of courage and loyalty, adventure and purpose, and how opening our hearts to people – and dogs – can make us better human beings. No one tells an animal tale like Michael Morpurgo. The reader in me was totally gripped, the dog-lover fell madly in love.’ Emma Carroll

‘Warm, wise and wonderful.’ Phil Earle, author of When the Sky Falls

‘An appealing tale of a little dog on a big journey. Morpurgo gives us yet another animal adventure to treasure. Cobweb will charm you with his cuteness and impress you with his courage.’ Lesley Parr, author of The Valley of Lost Secrets
