PRAISE FOR THE THIRTEENTH HORSEMAN:
Hutchisons work is not only hilarious; it contains a high degree of wit and intelligence. He delights not only in the apparent endless idiocy of humankind, but in the describing of it. This delight is infectious, his ability impressive. Books for Keeps
With this new book Barry is very much staking a claim as one of the top authors writing for the 10+ age group today Book Zone for Boys
