‘I think my favourite aspect of all is that art to Teresa’s books is rather like music is to a film – it creates a wonderful, palpable atmosphere and really adds a fourth dimension to the story. As you read, it feels like you are turning the pages of an illustrated book but apart from the odd pencil sketch – which is definitely another of my favourite aspects – the book consists of just plain old lines of black text (not that there is anything wrong with that!). The colours and artistry are just so easily conjured up in my mind that it really doesn’t seem like plain old lines of black text at all. It’s almost as if the story has been painted rather than written with the layers of mystery like layers on a huge landscape painting that are gradually washed off to reveal the book’s secrets. Reading one of Teresa’s books is such an enjoyable and magical experience and I really hope that I get to read more of them long into the future!”

Wow, pretty amazing praise. Thanks, we’re grinning from ear-to-ear!

For the video – which you can see in Watch and Listen – Teresa did the filming for the book at Traquair House, an ancient hunting lodge used by the kings and queens of Scotland that was the inspiration for the setting in her book. It’s worth a visit if you are ever in the beautiful Scottish Borders – www.traquair.co.uk
