What They're Saying

Critics Review

I find there’s an oddness and surrealism in Steve’s writing that I love and I feel he compliments that with his adventurous illustrations […] The artwork in this book is full of surprises. Fun and clever and a little different. – Peter Donnelly * Irish Independent *
