Synopsis :

Book by Ibbotson Eva

Revue de presse: The joyful absurdity of the notion, combined with Ibbotson's wit, warmth, superb characterisation and love of the natural world should make this a classic --The Daily Mail

Luminous, hectic and generous...lovely sharp writing --The Guardian

Charmingly illustrated...this book will have you smiling before the first chapter's end --Newcastle Journal

warm-hearted, funny and full of magical imagination. But as well as humour, there is also a powerful message here about the importance of nature and the environment, protecting endangered species, and opposing cruelty and injustice...a classic in the making. --Booktrust

Charmingly illustrated...this book will have you smiling before the first chapter's end --Newcastle Journal

The Abominables is the sweetest, funniest and most moral of stories...This funny book will make children laugh aloud and read it over and over again for its kindness and humour. For older readers, it presents an unavoidable parallel with the inhuman treatment shown to the Yetis and the cruelty shown to so many vulnerable and persecuted people today. This extra layer of meaning will ensure that as readers grow older, they will return again and again to The Abominables and take from it more and more. --Armadillo Magazine

It s both hilarious and heartbreaking, and anything but straightforward. But this being an old-fashioned kind of story, there has to be something worthwhile at the end...Extremely loveable yeti portraits by Sharon Rentta --Bookwitch
