- Emily Bearn, The Daily Telegraph
A mysterious, exquisitely presented gothic tale about a runaway girl and a talking skull, who befriend each other, and a threatening headless skeleton. Klassenâs images make astonishing use of light and dark, especially in his rosy-fingered dawn.
- Nicollette Jones, The Sunday Times
Beautiful, heartwarming, funny, and only very mildly spooky. If anyone can turn an obscure Middle-European folk fable into a bestseller, itâs Klassen.
- Tristram Saunders, Daily Telegraph
Klassenâs deadpan humour and shadowy illustration combine to darkly chilling effect as he harnesses the power of traditional storytelling. Brilliant.
- Sally Morris, Daily Mail
âThis is a delicious little horror, inspired by a Tyrolean folk tale, about a lonely, abandoned skull who plays host to a very brave little girl. It has surprises, a clever wit and some knockout illustrations.â
