'I now believe the best word to describe me as an author is spoiled. That's because the folks at Sky Pony have truly made me feel special about being in their stable. My editor is top-notch, and has a unique way of making me feel like her most important author.' - Nancy Krulik, New York Times bestselling author

'Andrew Lang and his associates managed to break the stranglehold of the pious sentimentality handed out to children by collecting - from all over the world - fairy tales of all people, and bringing out the volumes we all know and love.' - Kirkus ReviewsΒ
