SIRIUS AND SABAHamish Hamilton. 1981
The writing provides us with a model of clear and simple prose yet manages to be both evocative and poetic. The illustrations too, capture perfectly the timeless, melancholic beauty of the tropics and make this a gem of a book, something of a collector’s item.Children’s Book Bulletin
The author describes vividly in words and pictures the flavour and colour of the island, writing in a gentle, flowing style and the illustrations are beautiful. A book which gives a real sense of atmosphere.British Book News
