Lovely story. I was not a fan of the sound effects in the early pages or the way they were emphasized in the earlier pages but otherwise a fascinating story. Really stunning artwork and expert integration of Ormes' actual cartoons on some pages too.

Backmatter includes a note from the author, photos of Ormes and a couple of cartoon panels she made, note from the artist, selected bibliography, photo credits.
