  Linda Quilt is not famous. Born in New South Wales, she now leads the discreet life of a retired schoolteacher in Warwickshire. Admirably illustrated by Michael Sowa, these stories tell the adventures of six bizarrely gifted child prodigies who wreak havoc in their baffled families. Sweet Melinda, for example, has a toad that hops out of her mouth each time she speaks a lie. Hence her fierce commitment to the truth, even when addressing fat aunts eating too much cream cake, or pimpled youths making declarations of love. Shy Howab, on the other hand, realizes one day that he can make people disappear by simply saying his name out loud; best not to contemplate the grim fate awaiting some of his teachers. No matter what the experts say, it is up to the reader to decide whether these children are sly monsters or innocent victims of their extraordinary talents.

Quilt’s fables resurrect a venerable but almost extinct English tradition dating back to the days of Edward Lear, Hilaire Belloc and G. K. Chesterton.
