Children's books - Books - Times Online
Amanda Craig reviews fiven new fantasies and poarticularly likes The Secret Country by Jane Johnson - "stands out thanks to its charming and humorous mixture of the mundane and the magical"
and Barkbelly by Cat Weatherill - "the kind of classic tale that may have more resonance for adults than it does for children"
Craig also approves of the closing installment of Mary Hoffman's Stravaganza trilogy, City Of Flowers - "Hoffman has caught up all the threads from her first two books to weave a baroque thriller about art, murder, love and family".
