Celia Rees combines creative storytelling that takes your concepts of fantasy to the limit, with fact filled and historic knowledge to create an enchanting story that twists your imagination to the core.”- Sarah Watson, age 16, ( Plymouth Young People’s Review) Far superior in scope and execution to the teen angst routinely offered to this age group, it must surely appear on imminent shortlists.”- Linda Newbery, Armadillo Precise evocation of place, people, terrain and vegetation, in language that is suggestive but not over-strenuous in its imitation of 17th century idiom, makes Sorceress as pleasurable to the ear as Bloomsbury’s quality presentation makes it to the eye. Sorceress, the sequel, deserves the same success. “Celia Rees’s Witch Child, a strikingly original novel for teenagers, was rewarded with critical acclaim and a place on the Guardian shortlist. “The compelling sequel to Witch Child.This is a substantial, well-crafted and highly readable novel.” - Good Book Guide
