"The text is finely balanced between narrative flow and imaginative explorations so that parts of the stories themselves focus attention on segments of the art whilst other sections invite the inner mind's eye to interpret matters. The reader-watcher is led through a fantasy deeper and deeper into a strikingly beautiful book suffused with the mystery and music of spellbinding art fully-realised in the tones and rhythms of the words. In summary this is a picture book for readers and picture explorers of all ages although perhaps things may be a challenge for the youngest. Whilst the style will be especially inviting to folk-tale, fantasy and musical enthusiasts within these pages are complex delights and joys for all." –School Librarian
