Judge's comment: "Authoritative, well illustrated, up-to-date. A must read for any paediatric trainee or paediatrician anywhere in the world. A must read for doctors taking the MRCPCH exam. It is beyond comparison with any other textbook available in the market. This is the best paediatric book I have seen in my 24-year paediatric career."
