Review: This, the first book in the Wolves of Willoughby Chase sequence, is better than most children's stories and will be read with great enjoyment by adults and children alike. However, it is worth saying that, good as it is, it's not the best of the series by a long chalk. The two girl characters aren't terrific (Bonnie's a pain in the neck), and they don't come up again. It's not till we get to the second book, in which Dido Twite, one of the greatest characters in English fiction, makes her entrance, that the whole thing takes off on wings of gossamer. It's as though Dido did something extraordinary for Joan Aikens's imagination, sending it into the most remarkable ways and byways. This first volume has to be read to get readers into the overall atmosphere of this take on the early 19th century.
