‘Hutchinson’s translation of Anne Serre’s delicious French fable feels effortlessly satisfying.’
The London Magazine, on The Governesses by Anne Serre

‘…in Mark Hutchinson’s nimble, spirited translation, the gothic elements of The Governesses owe as much to the sinister situation as to the prevailing use of the subjunctive.’
Splice, on The Governesses by Anne Serre

'‘Beautifully rendered by translator Mark Hutchinson.’ — BookBlast, on The Fool and Other Moral Tales by Anne Serre
