Industry Reviews
"Whimsical and sprightly."
Caras
"What can one say? It is...a radiant fable, a special effects show, a juggling act on the part of a thoroughly professional fantasist, a patchwork quilt in which a bunch of genres clash by night, a kaleidoscope filled with joy...a pure Joan Aiken tale."
Clute
"Joan Aiken's style is as matter-of-fact as that of any good storyteller, sly and plausible. Although she never describes the monsters, they are as real as figments of our nightmares."
Hansen
It's difficult to type the reader's age in Joan Aiken's The Cockatrice Boys; but it's the advanced young adult to adult enthusiast of fantasy who will be the likely recipient of this very British tale. The invasion of various monsters in England forces humans to live underground and changes their world: it's up to the Cockatrice Corps to undertake a dangerous expedition to find out the monsters; source in this fast-paced, complex story.
