Review
'Captivating book ... It is a work of mood, atmosphere and a kind of earthy music.' -- The Irish Times The Irish Times 'Reminds me of that famous book Watership Down, except that the dialogue in Eugene McCabe's book is more likeable ... Lots of adventure and drama' -- The Evening Herald 'Apart from getting his readers deeply interested in the fascinating antics of Cyril, the little red squirrel, Eugene McCabe commands attention for his wonderful description of countryside, lakes and woods' -- Electrical Mail 'In this beautifully written fable Cyril has to figure out for himself who his real "people" are.' -- RTE Guide RTE Guide 'A tale of racism and prejudice in the guise of a nature adventure ... A crisply told yarn that yields a lesson on how society can pull together when the occasion arises.' -- The Sunday Tribune The Sunday Tribune 'A charming tale' -- Leinster Leader Leinster Leader
