Funny and informative . . . there's a lot of humour here, there's plenty of information and context, too - both of which are key first steps towards a child's historical understanding . . . It has the makings of a huge success for children, and for parents, too * Telegraph ***** * I love Corpse Talk. Ingenious and funny and unfailing fascinating. Brilliant stuff. * Philip Pullman *More details
