Review
" Lavish, whimsical dreamscapes reminiscent of Lewis Carroll. Lee's charming exuberance is everywhere in evidence, no more so than in Tanaquil's familiar, a wonderfully comic, cavorting beasty." -- "Publishers Weekly"
" Lee's language is lyrical and her setting is fantastical. Tanaquil is a good role model for any young girl struggling with love, relationships or parents." "The San Diego Union-Tribune"
