Praise for The Crow Folk:

‘Swept me straight back to days of losing myself in Diana Wynne Jones novels, and getting lost in truly absorbing, sometimes scary, sometimes emotive adventure with its roots in folklore and history. A story that is full of magic and delight that will thrill readers of any age’ Rowan Coleman, author of The Girl at the Window

‘Stay has brewed a cracking blend of charm and creepiness in The Crow Folk. A rip-roaring tale of bravery and witchcraft on the wartime home front, expertly told with lashings of wit and warmth’ Pernille Hughes, author of Probably the Best Kiss in the World

‘A delightful mash-up of Dad’s Army and Charmed. An absolute treat’ CK McDonnell, author of Stranger Times

‘You’ll love it: Doctor Who meets Worzel Gummidge’ Lorna Cook, author of The Forgotten Village

‘A jolly romp with witches, demons, and bellringing. Pratchett fans will enjoy this, and Faye is a feisty and fun hero. Dad’s Army meets Witches of Eastwick’ Ian W Sainsbury
