`the elegant curlicues of Rory Dobner's The Ink House (Laurence King) usher the reader into an abandoned artist's mansion, built over a reservoir of magical ink... Intricate and strange, the illustrations have a hint of Aubrey Beardsley in their sweeping curves and twining vegetation'. -- The Guardian
