Think Wind In The Willows meets 1920s film noir, a combination you never knew you needed... From political conspiracies to serial killings, this is all set in an alternate present day where Britain lost the Napoleonic Wars and the entire Royal Family were executed... It's a really compelling setting for any story, but the detective mystery element brings it all together. To me, this is perfect fodder for a Wes Anderson-style stop-motion film series. It's funny, eerie, and altogether very surreal. -- Megan McGill * Den of Geek * A gorgeously coloured steampunk fantasy. * Metro * Utterly delightful...It's a playful, allusive book in which there's a witty touch or deliciously knowing in-joke on almost every page...beautifully rendered, throughout, the glossy gorgeousness fills your eyes. * The Times * A solid conspiracy caper with bursts of Tarantino-like mayhem...a witty romp in a vividly realised topsy-turvy world. * Times Literary Supplement *
