In a much-acclaimed career, Mal Peet accrued literary awards in the UK, USA and Europe, including the Branford Boase Award, Carnegie Medal, Nestle Children's Book Award and the Guardian Prize. He is sorely missed by both his loving family and the literary world.A genuinely funny comedy - with a Pratchettian mix of gusto and warmth . . . This may be Mal Peet's first book for grownups, but it is an assured, even virtuoso, performance fully deserving that most prestigious of accolades

The Murdstone Trilogy has instantly become one of my favourite books - right up there with Terry Pratchett and The Princess Bride for fantasy comedy. The writing is sublime and the humour is lacerating. I loved every warped sentence

I enjoyed this novel hugely. It had a fat, throbbing vein of dark hilarity running right through the middle, with skewered literary personages shrieking and wittering either side. It's a complete nutty fantasy, and yet there's enough weird truth in it to really worry any writer - oh, okay, any reader - who picks it up. If you've ever wondered what the heck writers do all day, The Murdstone Trilogy will give you a good idea - bwahaha

Read it whatever your age and find yourself laughing pretty well at every page - it really is that good

Comic gold...deliciously funny, and the story-within-a-story is a glorious send-up of the genre

[Murdstone and Pocket are] expertly drawn . . . A refreshing and absorbing change of pace
