Reviews

  • Like a good brie, you feel Hermelin will only improve with age.

    Alex O'Connell, The Times

  • Grey's work is intricate and stylish, the images often as wordy as the narrative itself.

    Lorna Bradbury, The Daily Telegraph

  • Grey's pictures are nostalgic, comic, decorative and dramatically composed, and invite budding detectives to pay attention.

    Nicolette Jones, The Sunday Times, Children's Book of the Week

  • It's rare to find such a talented illustrator who can tell a gripping, original tale so effortlessly.

    The Times, Children's Book of the Week

  • Fans of Grey's work will once again relish the hectic pace of her storytelling, its humour, its intertextual allusions, its typographical playfulness and its general layout.

    Robert Dunbar, Irish Times
