Appointed to the Order of New Zealand in 1993, Mahy also won many global prizes for children's writers, including the Carnegie Medal and the prestigious Hans Christian Andersen Award. 'It is in the nature of books, that they have the capacity to make you feel powerful about what you can alter and achieve in your life' - Margaret Mahy
Mahy invents deliciously silly words to suit her rhymes and makes deft use of alliteration. * Kirkus * A miraculous mixture of... joy and mystery, silliness and seriousness. * New York Times *
