Review Quotes:
"Far and away the most literate and intelligent story of the year. . . .Mr. Wangerin's allegorical fantasty about the age-old struggle between good and evil produces a resonance; it is a taut string plucked that reverberates in memory." - George A. Woods, The New York Times
"Belongs on the shelf with Animal Farm, Watership Down, and The Lord of the Rings. It is, like them, an absorbing fanciful parade of the war between good and evil. A powerful and enjoyable work of the imagination." - Los Angeles Times
