Trade Review
A beguiling tale that sticks in the memory. The cat's whiskers * The Sunday Times *
Stylish, original and inventive, Varjak Paw is a modern children's classic
Dazzling * The New York Times *
The book is compulsive reading; we are with Varjak every step of his way, willing him to succeed. Independent readers of 9 upwards will treasure it, not least for its illustrations, and some will camp out on the publisher's doorstep for the sequel * Ann Hay, The School Librarian *
The cat magic mystique is brilliant -- Richard Adams * Author of Watership Down *
