I am not sure just why this book did not have the same appeal for me that some of Fry's other titles did. The matter-of-fact acceptance of enchantment that a story such as this relies upon, will be familiar to anyone who reads a great deal of anthropomorphic animal-fantasy. Mungo is one of the most believable elements of the book, it is the human characters who strain our suspension of disbelief, particularly Skipper. This is unfortunate, as one of Fry's strengths, in my estimation, is the completely natural tone she usually manages to employ.
There were engaging moments in this short novel, however, which leads me to conclude that it may just be one of those books that is best experienced as a child. The black and white illustrations by Velma Ilsley were something of a disappointment, especially after being spoiled by the likes of Margaret Gill and Robin Jacques in Fry's previous books. ( )
