Praise For…


"Vicky Cowie's sweet fairytale Tales from Muggleswick Wood ventures into a magical world of gnomes, pixies, and stink-resistant moles. The watercolor and ink illustrations are cheery and quiet, evoking wonder over nature and the magic of make-believe. With unexpected humor, Tales from Muggleswick Wood is an enchanting collection of fairy stories for bedtime and beyond." —Foreword Reviews, starred review

"Cowie pens a collection of fanciful stories around a visiting grandmother who shares bedtime tales with each of her grandchildren . . . Throughout, ink and wash vignettes by Mackesy (The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse) blend E.H. Shepard-style shapes with Quentin Blake-like energy. Nostalgia-tinged bedtime treats, which take myriad beats from classic British children's works." — Publishers Weekly
