Reviews for Dream Angus: The Celtic God of Dreams
An enchanting tale
The Times
A gem-like piece of work
Daily Telegraph
McCall Smith brings to the Angus story a sly and deceptive simplicity, combined with a charm that has a line of tight, sharp wire running all the way through it . . . A book that is full of small marvels . . . Resonant and deeply unsettling
John Burnside
Guardian
Perhaps the finest I have read from the McCall Smith pen
Scotsman
Reads like a fairytale for adults, a light, rose-tinted book . . . Well-written and smartly contemporary
