“Delta cleverly adapts the conventions of the European fairy tale with sharp satire worthy of Alexander Pope and Jonathan Swift… very funny… It is a book that members of the current Irish Government should read… this book, after more than a century, continues to speak to all ages.” - Eileen Battersby, Irish Times
“Constantly intrigues and excites… Like Animal Farm … thirty or so years later, it’s a political tract in thin but compelling disguise.” – Books for Keeps
