Review

"It's impossible to do anything other than love Victoria Stitch." * Louise Ellis-Barrett, Armadillo *
"Another absolute delight... this book explodes with magical images. I know a lot of children will be jumping for joy at the chance to read this." * Jill Bennett, Red Reading Hub *
Review of Victoria Stitch: Bad and Glittering."This absorbing miniature melodrama is full of fraught sibling fondness between sweet, gentle Celestine and the marvellously ambitious and snooty Victoria, with Muncaster's own enticing illustrations." * The Guardian *
Review of Victoria Stitch: Bad and Glittering."Any reader who fell for Isadora Moon and is ready for something a bit longer and rather darker, will surely love Harriet's new gothic fantasy. The illustrations are simply divine especially as Victoria Stitch with her funky, pointy toed, heeled boots is a fashionista who loves to strut her stuff in melodramatic wiskling style as befits the superbly woven, absorbing narrative.To enter Wiskling Wood is utter enchantment every step of the way; it's hard to leave for whatever reason..." * Jill Bennett, Red Reading Hub *
Review of Victoria Stitch: Bad and Glittering."Packed full of gothic glam and with a hefty dose of sparkles and glitter, Victoria Stitch is a fabulous anti-heroine (...). Harriet Muncaster's irresistible elfin illustrations run throughout, from the deliciously mean Ursuline to the sweetness-and-light Celestine." * BookTrust *
