Reviews
Only Coleridge's phrase will do-Jim Magnuson's Young Claus is a miracle of rare device. This tale of how a boy became the legend has it all. It blends the power of myth with the pleasure of mirth, combines high adventure with delightful invention. This anthem of hopefulness is somehow charming and thrilling at the same time. I could go on and on about this book-a beautiful, beautiful act of imagination." - Hugh O'Neill, author of Daddy Cool
"The Germans called their fairy tales Wundermarchen, and this is one amazing, big-hearted, gloriously imagined, dark, deeply moving, astonishing, utterly splendid wonder tale. A book about joy, and the human imagination, and how life can be lifted by the smallest piece of generosity. What a page-turning marvel this book is. I completely adored it." - Edward Carey Author of Little and The Iremonger Trilogy
