Press and Reviews

“Groundbreaking, spellbinding, this book is a winning collaboration between writer and artist. In these days where faster is better and shorter trumps longer, two gifted artists have decided to take us on a journey through a mythological forest.

This haunting archetypal tale — where the forces of good and evil swirl around the heroic journey of a young boy — harks back to the best of The Brothers Grimm. LaFleur's text is exquisite word music, leaving space for Oehler's art. Such ART! Images so rich in detail readers will tumble off chairs into the page: gripped, scared, hopeful, but never to be let go. Not even after the book is closed. These two have created a world we will revisit, and a boy whose journey we will want more of— not just one magnificent book.

I'm enchanted, gobsmacked, thrilled for readers of all ages and inspired by the accomplishment of these creators.”

— Sheree Fitch,
Award Winning Author of ‘The Gravesavers’

“In working with Leo LaFleur, and familiarizing myself with his catalogue, Leo has shown to be an exacting craftsperson in the writing of his songs. Much rumination and attention to detail are at the core of his process and it shows in the work. Leo has always worked with top-notch musicians and producers… all the while holding himself to an international professional standard.”

— Michael Feuerstack,
Renowned Canadian Songwriter & Juno Award winning musician (Julie Doiron and the Wooden Stars)

“Musicianship and Production is second to none, a world class Recording… Leo creates a world of song that follows no trend, a truly original.”

‘Was it all a nightmare? No… it comes flooding back. The witch. The warlock. The queen… the errand. In the third volume of The Errand series, Leo LaFleur and Adam Oehlers use poetic language and evocative illustrations to spin a fantastical tale in which the reader follows a simple errand boy on a courage testing adventure of great magic and ever-deepening peril.’
