Review:
"Good humoured and irreverent, and a joy from start to finish." -- BOOKSELLER'S CHOICE The Bookseller "The most gifted and effective existentialist graphic artist of my time." Kurt Vonnegut "Told with a flourish, humorous detail and dashing artwork." Children's Bookseller "A delciously different account of the battlefield...is good humoured and irreverent, and a joy from start to finish." -- Hope, Jake Bookseller "As well as some wonderful artwork, it's highly educational. The origins of the Bourbon biscuit were lost to the world before Steadman revealed that General Garibaldi's granny had baked them as a consolation prize for the defeated French army. And when she ran out of chocolate, she baked some with raisins for the victorious General." Independent
