Book Review, © Copyright 2003, Jim Loy
So far, these are two thin books for children: The Moon Robber and The Winter King. But surely more will follow. The pictures are mostly small, but beautifully detailed. There are magic doors which lead to the land of your dreams, in particular to the Greater Kettles. In The Moon Robber, we get to ride in the moon when it is stolen by a giant from Fish Island who is afraid . . . Well, you'll just have to read the book to find out what I'm talking about. In The Winter King, Old Man Winter's evil assistant takes over the Weather Mill, and snow in Florida is one of the results. The stories are simple an short, like one chapter of a more significant book like Harry Potter or Narnia.
