Praise
“a memorable exploration of bravery, boyhood and friendships that last, albeit in a world that would soon vanish.” — The Wall Street Journal
“Originally published in 1935 and charmingly illustrated by Trier, Kästner’s (Emil and the Detectives) pleasingly sentimental tale of early 20th-century boarding-school life gets the opportunity to reach a new audience, courtesy of Bell’s new translation.” –Publishers Weekly
‘A little masterpiece… Read it and you will be happy’ Maurice Sendak
‘Marvellous’ Philip Pullman
‘My favourite book as a child… funny, exciting and very atmospheric’ Michael Rosen
Praise for Emil and the Detectives:
‘Walter Trier’s deceptively innocent drawings are as classic as Kästner’s words; I never tire of them’ Quentin Blake
