Praise for Rosen Trevithick

"Brilliant."
- The Independent
(Re: 'The Troll Trap')
"It is that famous sarcastic, British wit that I could eat all day. London, the Doggy and Me is simply another winner."
- N. Blackburn
(Re: 'London, the Doggy and Me')
"The ups are oh so funny, the downs are quite heartbreaking. I am not ashamed to say I was in tears more than once. The last story just blew me away when I got to it. This is definitely the best collection of stories I've read in a long while and I'm sure I will read them again."
- J. Stacey (Amazon Top 1000 Reviewer)
(Re: 'Seesaw - Volume I')
"It's hilarious to the point that I had to put the book down because I couldn't see the screen for my tears and this happened a few times. The incident in the kitchen with the My Ickle Pony Tail had me curled up so I didn't wet myself."
- K. Farrimond (Amazon Reviewer)
