"It is remarkably different. It’s strange, fragmentary, sinister, stunning, haunting, It's story lost in a mist with only intermittent visibility.

It is quite uniquely of itself."

Steve Gladwin, writer and performer

"'The White Dobbie' is a really memorable achievement: not only the words and images, but your clever and satisfying construction of the components, alternating between narrative and reflection; these and the lovely, clean, open design of the book, combining darkness and light.”
