Frequently charming and really rather beautifully done, this 90th anniversary edition of the Milly-Molly-Mandy stories is a lovely thing . . . includes several of the short stories collected together and has a lovely afterword that does something quite remarkable – it speaks to the child . . . this book also includes a lot of full colour illustrations [which] are richly rendered things, full of lush and gentle detail and rather intensely evocatively. -- Daisy Johnson * didyoueverstoptothink.com *
each story is a miniature masterpiece, as clear, warm and precise as the illustrations by the author that accompanied them, crafted by a mind that understood the importance of comfort reading -- Lucy Mangan * Guardian *
