PRAISE FOR A BOY, HIS DOG AND THE SEA
“As is usual with Browne, the scene expresses the mood. Painstaking artwork conjures the wide sea, while faces are hinted at in beach huts and pebbles. Misunderstanding and suspense lead to a happy, heroic rescue.” The Sunday Times
“Anthony Browne is the most extraordinary author and illustrator […] His books should be essential reading for children and adults alike.” Cotswold Life
