'Genuine mid-century styling will appeal to art lovers as well as the nostalgia market. The lion is drawn with great sensitivity and Duvoisin's tawny palette is pleasingly appropriate.' - Books for Keeps

'Duvoisin's illustrations are exceptional.' - The Times

'Superb art and a lovely story where friendship and freedom reign supreme, characterise this classic re-issue.'- Red Reading Hub
