A lovely package of audio treats…BBC Audio’s usual slick package of punctuated sound effects and musical cues.

For all its darkness, [The Nutcracker] appeals to parents and their children because it's like one of those glowing glass globes that you can shake and see the snow swirl. It's a dream bubble, a vision of middle-class happiness and fantasy that precedes the Russian Revolution and all the horrors of the last century and this one. That world may have faded, but it is still our sweetest dream

An enduring Christmas classic

Like Hansel And Gretel, The Nutcracker is a slightly dark story, but it s also magical...a world of childhood imagination

A book that stands out within the world of cat literature ... and it's a world worth exploring.

I found myself sobbing ... unable, unwilling, to let this little book go.

The Travelling Cat Chronicles is as much a loving tribute to Japan’s obsession with and reverence for cats as it is an endearing introduction for non-Japanese readers to the country’s ever-fascinating culture and deeply rooted traditions.

A book that speaks volumes about our need for connection - human, feline or otherwise.

This touching novel of a brave cat and his gentle, wise human will resonate with lovers of animal tales, quiet stories of friendship, and travelogues alike.

Gentle, soft-spoken, and full of wisdom

A delight to read
