Review
"Thomas and the Tinners effortlesly combines plot, dialogue and descriptions into a complete unity. The prose is rich and rhythmic, and reads well aloud. Here is a rewarding story which never patronises its young audience. Junior Education; Paton Walsh is a master storyteller whose characters spring off the page and into life. She is a wonderful ambassador for children's books. Thomas and the Tinners (offers) a beautiful insight into a lost world. Oxford Times;... Marvellously evocative... Young Book Trust News; This Cornish tale reads like poetry and is redolent of twilit storytelling sessions. Time Out
