‘Exquisitely and imaginatively illustrated, this is a sensitive retelling of the moving story of Anne Frank’ – Jacqueline Wilson
‘Josephine Poole and Angela Barrett produce a very different kind of classic. Snow White and Joan of Arc are two books that every child should have. Everything here is perfect – tone, composition, imagination and mood. Barrett’s… Joan of Arc is given a medieval feeling that conveys the idealism and painful youth of its heroine’ – Independent on Sunday
‘Barrett’s illustrations interact with Poole’s spare yet poetic account to create a truly stunning picture book in which the enigma of this charismatic, driven girl is poignantly evoked’ – Books for Keeps on Joan of Arc
‘Words and images complement each other with strength and grace’ – TES on Snow White’ –This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
