'I absolutely adored the charming and very funny The House Of Marvellous Books and its cast of eccentric, maddening characters. This is a must-read for anyone who loves books and I can’t wait to gift it to everyone I know. It deserves to be a massive word-of-mouth bestseller.’ — Sarra Manning, author of Rescue Me

‘With an undercurrent of melancholic optimism, and an amusing cast of eccentric individuals who rather resemble a thrown together, dysfunctional family, this will charm and entertain fans of wry, dry humour.’ — LoveReading

‘With richly textured prose ripe with delightful irony, Marshall has produced a quirky and hugely enjoyable read taking the reader into the world of publishing with all its eccentricities. With a flurry of colourful and well-drawn characters, this is a joyride of a novel which will have its readers smiling throughout.’ — Jac Shreeves-Lee, author of Broadwater

‘Fiona Vigo Marshall’s bookish jeu d’esprit, in which the hapless Mortimer charts the decline of a once-great publishing house in his diary, is hugely entertaining. In a book full of funny lines, set pieces and memorable characters, the House itself is a marvellous concoction. You can smell the medieval timbers and the leather and vellum of its venerable book collection as you read.’ — Gill Darling, author of Erringby

‘A must-read, rib-tickling, uproarious satire – and a quest for the one book that will make all the difference.’ — Professor Peter Tyrer, author of The Watermeadow Mystery and Poleaxed
