Reviews
Corpse Talk is funny, it's entertaining, it's educational and information packed. What more could you possibly want? * Forbidden Planet *
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 * Telegraph *
I love Corpse Talk. Ingenious and funny and unfailingly fascinating. Brilliant stuff * Philip Pullman *
