Tim and Ginger Reviews
Selected as one of Shirley Hughes's Top 5 Picture Books: 'Ardizzone is one of my heroes, a storyteller in the finest English tradition. As an illustrator he can open up vistas, seascapes, storms and beach walks using pen and wash with effortless mastery. A large part of Little Tim's enduring appeal is that he has amazing adventures without any anxious grown-ups tagging along. But there is always a cosy welcome waiting on his return.' The Daily Telegraph
