"What the book is about is friendship on earth, affection and protection, adventure and miracle, life and death, trust and treachery, pleasure and pain, and the passing of time. As a piece of work it is just about perfect, and just about magical in the way it is done."
- Eudora Welty, the New York Times Book Review
"High caprice on a farm, handled with wit and wisdom, [that] serves to put an imperfect world back into joint."
- The New Yorker
