  I loved revisiting the world of The House with Chicken Legs in this sequel. The story has the same charm and is filled with a love of folklore and wild places. We get to see lots of delicious food, lots more of Jack the Jackdaw, beautiful wild forests and gardens and even a little glimpse of how a Yaga House comes into being. There's also a good handful of drama and peril and FLYING involved. - Yarrow Townsend, Branford Boase shortlisted author of The Map of Leaves, New Forest National Park Writer in Residence 2024
