The Siblings and Other Stories

Gyuszi Süto · 2021
67/100
👎 Skip It

There is genuine charm here — the Transylvanian cultural roots give these stories a distinctiveness most small-press children's collections lack, and the sibling and family themes are handled with warmth. Limited distribution and the absence of any critical coverage make it impossible to fully assess the craft, and small-press polish can vary considerably. A discovery find for readers who encounter it, but not a confident recommendation from the catalog shelf.
