کاش داستانش در حد نقاشیهاش بود.

جیل بارکلِم (اینجور که خودش گفته) پنج سال برای تحقیق درباره زندگی حومه شهری انگلستان، طبیعت منطقه و غذاها وقت گذاشته و بعد رفته سراغ نوشتن و کشیدن کتاب. نقاشیهایی که کشیده (به قول دوستانی که تخصصی کتاب کودک میخونن) گوگولی هستن و دقیقا نقطه مقابل مینیمالیزم. خونه موش های قصه به قدری گرم و سرشار از زندگی و صد البته وسایل مختلفه که واقعا دوست دارم با قبول ریسک سرگیجه، توی این خونه ها باقی زندگیم سپری بشه.
حیف که داستان واقعی و درخور کودک امروزی نداشت به نظرم.
