Madame Pamplemousse and the Enchanted Sweet Shop

Zusatztext 'It is a very sophisticated book that works on several levels . . . The story is extremely redolent both of Paris and of fairy tales. The author combines them very cleverly. Indeed! it is reminiscent of the magical realism of Angela Carter' Informationen zum Autor Rupert Kingfisher's favourite authors as a child were Roald Dahl, Susan Cooper and Ursula le Guin.
