'Berbay Publishing was established in 2009 by Alexandra Yatomi-Clarke and launched with two picture books: The Prince of Peas, a revisionary retelling of Hans Christian Andersen's The Princess and the Pea and 3 Little Culottes, a take on The Three Little Pigs and the Big Bad Wolf in which a thief steals their culottes from the clothesline and the pigs set off in search of them. The two books are indicative of what was to come; stories with an edge and an eye for playfulness.' (Introduction)

    'Kevin Crossley Holland has a new collection of of Norse Myths published and a striking work it is :  a thing of strength and wonder, but what has taken my fancy in particular is his introduction in which he refers to the myths as brilliant, fast moving, ice-bright stories. Equally melodramatic is his explanation of why myths were created and why we should still be reading them: They try to explain how humans are as we are and how things came to be. The tell us about ourselves and out world, but through the lens of imaginative story telling, coloured by the beauty and expanse and extremes of the icy fiery landscape where they originated.'
