Reviews for The Theory of the Leisure Class

Sometimes humourous, often making us feel we have brushed against something dark, threatening and inscrutable in the marshes, this is an irresistible collection from a master storyteller. John Lawrence's distinctive wood cut panels and vignettes are the perfect accompaniment . -- Linda Newbery TES, 10 Dec 04 Highly recommended INIS Children's Books Ireland Magazine, Winter 04 ...an irresistable collection from a master storyteller.
