Nina Bawden
Praise for Tortoise by Candlelight
It is a small book, acute, discreet and tender; it is also written with warm care and considerable taste – all qualities too easily overlooked
Kirkus Reviews
An exceptional picture of disorganised family life
Observer
Bawden is noted too for the sharp sense of humour that edges her tales of middle-class manners and mores towards satire, particularly when it all goes wrong
