Milly-Molly-Mandy Stories Reviews

The nostalgic charm, gentleness and simplicity of the Milly-Molly-Mandy stories have stood the test of time and a new generation cannot help but fall in love with the spirit of adventure and the warm evocation of family life that are so central to this ordinary little girl's life. Perfect for reading aloud, these thirteen stories will bring back happy memories for parents and grandparents, and introduce younger readers to a very ordinary but very special little girl! -- Pam Norfolk * The Lancashire Post *
Frequently charming and really rather beautifully done, this 90th anniversary edition of the Milly-Molly-Mandy stories is a lovely thing . . . includes several of the short stories collected together and has a lovely afterword that does something quite remarkable - it speaks to the child . . . this book also includes a lot of full colour illustrations [which] are richly rendered things, full of lush and gentle detail and rather intensely evocatively. -- Daisy Johnson * didyoueverstoptothink.com *
each story is a miniature masterpiece, as clear, warm and precise as the illustrations by the author that accompanied them, crafted by a mind that understood the importance of comfort reading -- Lucy Mangan * Guardian *
