Nicola Bayley
A new full-sized paperback edition of a book first published some 13 years ago which received great acclaim, became a best-seller and acquired something of an adult cult following. I was not among its devotees then and, whilst I can admire Nicola Bayley's finely detailed, sometimes jewel-like paintings, I haven't warmed any to this rhyming tale of the Dubbs' adventures on land and sea, nor did my junior readers show any enthusiasm for it.
