"Now I have a new favourite cosy read to add to my collection . . . Joy Cowley is one of New Zealand's best-loved writers, and with the help of Giselle Clarkson's evocative illustrations she tells another story of the powers of collectivism as a tiny woman, chilly in the autumn wind, tries to make herself a coat."--The Sunday Times, "I'm a sucker for dark children's books that curdle the blood and chill the marrow bone. Not for me dustjackets iced in pink where the greatest jeopardy is a squashed cake or a stained frock. Yet, quite often, when reading to smallies, especially when the nights are drawing in and the leaves are tumbling down, you want something uncomplicated, something that's just . . . cosy. A House in the Woods by Inga Moore, set in autumn, is my go-to for back-to-school comfort reading. The little pigs must find a way to build a house to fit their friends, bear and moose, as well as themselves. As with all the best projects it ends with an uncomplicated supper, a roaring fire and a bed with an attractive eiderdown. Now I have a new favourite cosy read to add to my collection. Joy Cowley is one of New Zealand's best-loved writers, and with the help of Giselle Clarkson's evocative illustrations she tells another story of the powers of collectivism as a tiny woman, chilly in the autumn wind, tries to make herself a coat. When she puts out a call for cloth, she gets an immediate response. '"You can have our leaves,"' said the autumn trees. Rustle, rustle, rustle.' A grey goose answers her call for scissors (a beak), a porcupine for a needle (a spike), a horse for a thread (a hair from his mane), all told with reassuring repetition and rhythm. Finally, the weeny lady goes out in the heavy rain wearing her golden gabardine: 'She stayed snug as a bug in a rug, with her coat to keep her warm.' We see her smiling contentedly while sharing her blackberries with a snail pal. No hacking autumn cough, no endless Covid tests--just warmth, fruit and friends. Well, we have to have something to aspire to . . ."--The Sunday Times, "[A]n inventive and delightful tale that evokes Thumbelina, the Borrowers, and other beloved wee characters."--Kirkus Reviews

Dvd arrived quickly and well packaged and taken care of. The item was listed as acceptable and met all of my needs but here's a quick description of what I got: Some wear is visible on the plastic sleeve on the outside of the case. The inside leaflet was still there! The disk has about 3 very notable scratches, although none are bigger than about 2 centimeters. Little to no grime anywhere on the product. Great service!
