Like a good brie, you feel Hermelin will only improve with age. -- Alex O'Connell * The Times *
Grey's work is intricate and stylish, the images often as wordy as the narrative itself. -- Lorna Bradbury * The Daily Telegraph *
Grey's pictures are nostalgic, comic, decorative and dramatically composed, and invite budding detectives to pay attention. -- Nicolette Jones * The Sunday Times, Children's Book of the Week *
It's rare to find such a talented illustrator who can tell a gripping, original tale so effortlessly. * The Times, Children's Book of the Week *
Fans of Grey's work will once again relish the hectic pace of her storytelling, its humour, its intertextual allusions, its typographical playfulness and its general layout. -- Robert Dunbar * Irish Times *
