Hermelin The Detective Mouse by Mini Grey
Like a good brie, you feel Hermelin will only improve with age. -- Alex O'Connell The Times Grey's work is intricate and stylish, the images often as wordy as the narrative itself. -- Lorna Bradbury The Daily Telegraph
Grey's pictures are nostalgic, comic, decorative and dramatically composed, and invite budding detectives to pay attention. -- Nicolette Jones The Sunday Times, Children's Book of the Week
It's rare to find such a talented illustrator who can tell a gripping, original tale so effortlessly. The Times , Children's Book of the Week
Fans of Grey's work will once again relish the hectic pace of her storytelling, its humour, its intertextual allusions, its typographical playfulness and its general layout. -- Robert Dunbar Irish Times
