Rezensionen
Praise for Enchanted Glass

"Enchanted Glass is no exception to Diana Wynne Jones's general rule of using, and possibly abusing, folklore and fantasy for her own splendid ends... Wynne Jones belongs to an elect clan of the most treasured of British children's authors, creating her own unique brand of fantasy, in the same manner as Alan Garner and Susan Cooper, and it's surely this experience that breeds the confidence to write with such subtle depth. Blissful."
Marcus Sedgwick, The Guardian

"At her best, as in... Enchanted Glass, Wynne Jones is superb, mixing the comical with the magical... Highly recommended, especially for boys."
Amanda Craig, The Times

"No one has ever written quite like Diana Wynne Jones. The author of over 40 novels, she combines the delicate humour and nostalgic village settings of Barbara Pym with the wild imagination of JRR Tolkien... This latest book remains as predictably unpredictable as all her other works."
Nick Tucker, The Independent

"Time to waive the 'no reading at table' edicts; Diana Wynne Jones is back with another fantasy novel, so if you have an eight- to 12-year-old, enjoy the silence for 332 pages. Enchanted Glass demands nothing less than full-body immersion."
Daily Telegraph
