Media Reviews

Unconstrainedly escapist. Thompson is a one-off, a wit, a virtuoso. His collection of imaginary "castles" is a surreal treat -- Kate Kellaway * Observer *
It will afford hours of absorbing puzzlement in trying to decipher the wicked jokes hidden in the unbelievably detailed pictures -- Sonia Benster * The Bookseller *
Colin Thompson has created illustrations that are truly extraordinary. So take a journey into your imagination and have a look at this castle celebration * Through the Looking Glass *
One to produce when the batteries die and gizmos crash . . . Maddeningly taunting, this will give hours of quiet searching -- Mary Arrigan * The Sunday Tribune *
Unbelieveably detailed pictures of imaginary castles will keep loyal reader entertained for hours * Sunday Express *
