Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
It's 19th-century England during the reign of King James II, but it's not the England we know from the history books. This country is overrun with wolves that roam the forests, providing the perfect setting for a witty and dramatic story spanning the whole country, from the frozen North to the city of London, and peopled with all manner of evil governesses and ancient aunts.
Filled with brilliantly-drawn Dickensian characters, it would make an excellent choice for strong preteen readers who like an old-fashioned story with a strong plot and good characterisation. This book often appears on lists of best-loved children's books. (Ages 10 to 12) EN --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

A Magical and Gripping Story for Children,
This review is from: The Wolves Of Willoughby Chase (The Wolves Of Willoughby Chase Sequence) (Paperback)
The Wolves of Willoughby Chase is the first in a wonderful series of books for children. I started reading the series when I was a young child and found that the world Aiken has created is a magical place to get lost in for hours on end. Every adventure is superbly written and I never wanted the books to end. Now at the age of eighteen and with a younger brother to read to, I am rediscovering the magic of this wonderful series again!

A Masterpiece,
This review is from: The Wolves Of Willoughby Chase (The Wolves Of Willoughby Chase Sequence) (Paperback)
The Wolves of Willoughby Chase is one of those eternal classics which has never failed to stir my imagination with its atmospheric and descriptive style, which seems to be lacking in modern literature. From the desolate and wolf-infested wold of Willoughby estate to the sinister and isolated house itself, the hideous girls' institution in Blastburn and to the busy streets of London, this is a whirlwind journey with a great variety of characters, both good and bad. The book's only faults are perhaps under-development of characters and the speed of the narrative which gives a pantomime feel to some passages of the book. But otherwise a rip-roaring adventure story and one of my all time favourite children's novels.

This is a good book because it's touching and interesting.,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Wolves of Willoughby Chase (Red Fox Older Fiction) (Paperback)
We read this book in English and we liked it because the characters are funny and we can relate to some of their experiences. We did not like Miss Slighcarp because she's mean and a thief. We would recommend this book to all Year 7 and 8 children because even though the story is in olden times, it is still funny and I can imagine myself being there. I liked it!
