It's Borges for kids." <b>--<i>School Library Journal</i></b></p><p>"These visual additions give the book much of its personality and charm...serve to inspire readers to hunker down over their own sketchbooks in a loopy fit of creation." <b>--<i>Booklist</i></b></p><p>"...Lady Bonquers is still remembered in 'the international circle of pseudoscientists and mad geniuses.' Here's hoping that this tribute will expand her renown to a wider audience." <b>--<i>Kirkus</i></b></p><br>
