Reviews

'A rib-tickling tale . . . Drawing on the Victorian era, this story makes for a fabulous, farcical read, coupled with colourful, bustling spreads and a sumptuous gatefold, theres nothing we dont love about Inspector Brunswick.' Picturebooks blogger; 'This light-hearted mystery picture book with attractive illustrations is the first in a series about the art-loving pair of detectives. The gallery setting is a great way to introduce children to this environment, particularly if they are embarking on their own museum or gallery visit.' BookTrust
