Like Queenie, this too has the feeling of a meticulous yet lovingly researched story. -- Hilary Adams * Bookseller+Publisher *
It is this relationship between master and dog that captures the Australian spirit and makes the book small in length, but huge in heart... -- Sarah Warne * Weekly Times *
A visual and literary delight... -- Sally Murphy * Aussie Reviews *
Working together, (Corinne and Peter) have timelessly re-created the social realism of this historical period to give new life to an iconic Australian folk tale. -- Chloe Mauger * Magpies *
