 Amanda Craig - Children's Literature, reviews
The broadcaster and comedienne, Sandi Toksvig, is herself half Danish, and she has woven the tales her father told her about the occupation of Copenhagen with Edmund Burke’s famous dictum that “the one condition necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.”

The tale is told mostly in dialogue; as in her performances, Toksvig comes at her subject with a refreshing robustness overlaid with a keen intelligence and genuine sympathy.
