Reviews

'An absorbing book which in the age-old tradition of story telling, gets the point over to its young readers that not everyone in the world has the freedom they treat so lightly' Newbury Weekly News

'Containing truly outstanding contributions from Morpurgo, Rita Williams-Garcia and Margaret Mahy, the collection delivers tales that leave the reader, as Mahy puts it, ‘with heads that spin inside with the surprise of life and the thrill of words that jostled and danced freely – no matter what country you happened to live in.' INIS

'Frequently thought-provoking, these stories adeptly highlight the universal importance of human rights.' Publisher's Weekly
