“Or maybe we were warned at the right stage, because we've been there with xenophobia and stuff, and it's not that it's cleared out either, but it's just that we didn't at least get so far down the rabbit hole all over Europe.” electronicbookreview.com/essay/platfo...

“There were also just lots and lots of incredibly moving pieces of personal flotsam and jetsam, like a little kid's backpack with an image of Donald Duck on roller skates on the back of it.” electronicbookreview.com/essay/roderi...

“Our goal was to create a magical object that would feel like an artifact from the rabbit hole, a private and precious book in the fashion of Maurice Sendak's tiny volumes of the Nutshell Library.” electronicbookreview.com/essay/creati...
