MR SCHNITZEL is a rich and dazzling story of the resilience of family love: a split narrative of fairy tales and family dramas. 'Knight's wit is calculated to charm adult readers ... in this book he has produced a delightful and original hybrid: the bedtime autobiography' - Times 'The novel is unquestionably accomplished, the bedtime stories are charming. The family history is paced and spliced to ultimately moving effect' -TLS 'The act of re-reading [his] childhood is what MR SCHNITZEL is all about; and it is a moving, often comic, heart-rending process' - Guardian
