London Evening News''Inimitable, delicious, full of pure fun'' --The Observer''Charming and enchanting . . . Witty and wise'' --Edinburgh Evening NewsSOME SERIES READER REVIEWS''These works deserve to be best sellers. I have been enjoying them for a long time and now I have the originals as written. It is interesting to compare the new translations with the Gollancz translations. Some of the stories are hard to even recognise! The revised translations make a lot more sense though and answer some questions I had. Excellent work and I shall be back for the next one.'' Hesperu
