Once Library edition

Once I escaped from an orphanage to find Mum and Dad. Once I saved a girl called Zelda from a burning house. Once I made a Nazi with toothache laugh. My name is Felix. This is my story. Everybody deserves to have something good in their life. At least once. ?Gleitzman?s reading is precise and lovely, often delivered in an understated whisper, emphasizing the intensity of the story and the author?s skill as a consummate storyteller. Klezmer music punctuates the chapters. Once is very much a story about storytelling memory. Seldom does a story come along so powerful in its simplicity.? ? AudioFile magazine
