• "In the vibrant world of children's fiction, Neil Gaiman has clearly shown that there is still room for experimentation and different ways of telling a story. He has effectively remade his own guidelines for telling a story rather than following any genre rules." - Iain Emsley
• "If you asked me to pick an illustrated children's book, published in the last 10 years, that stands a good chance of becoming a classic - whatever that means, exactly - I wouldn't have to think about it for very long. I'd choose The Wolves in the Walls." - The New York Times
