Reviews:

She combines a professional approach with a marvellous sense of humour and fun. She is an absolute delight to work with, following directions and even anticipating them at times. She has a natural flair for her work.

Nancy played my daughter in an episode of Doctors. She was a pleasure to work with and professional on set.

Jonathan Kerrigan (Actor)

We knew straight away that she had something the others didn't. She showed such range. Playing a character and emotions quite opposite to her own personality, she was on cue every time. She is full of energy, follows direction perfectly and is able to make useful suggestions. Nancy is an extremely talented actress.

Anthony Thane (Technical Director)

Nancy did a good job and was a delight to work with. She was very easy to direct. She was very confident and delivered her lines with such conviction.

Amanda Boyle (Director)

Nancy has strong acting skills and it was a real pleasure to work with her. She understands everything very fast and seems really comfortable with sad scenes, even if she's a really happy and funny little girl. It was really interesting and not difficult working with Nancy. She was really professional! A real pleasure and a good experience.

Julien Pietri (Director)

The dialog was long, and by no means easy, but as promised she delivered long periods of seamless dialog that was both powerful and emotional. I can only say that Nancy stepped up to the mark and delivered far above my expectations in her delivery of her dialog and the role she played and I thank her and congratulate her on a job extremely well done. I love her enthusiasm and energy. She is unforgettable and very talented.

The Magical Adventures of Princess Froglett is a wonderful story, as the name itself claims it to be. I found it really enjoyable and fascinating for anyone who likes fairy tales; full of morals, magic, real life stuff, history and friendship. The plot was fantastic. I loved that they had to travel and pass through many different places and in each one of them they get to know each other better while learning a lot more about themselves. The characters were very well defined too; personally I'm in love with the Captain Sea Beard, who shape shifts between pirate and lion, because he's just so funny. The two main characters lack various things eg; bravery, happiness, freedom, so they have to find their magic, a beautiful metaphor. I loved this book, entirely and completely. From now on, it is one of my favorite fairy tales. And there is something the book says that is absolutely true... You only need find your magic!!!

I really enjoyed this little book. It's a children's book, but I think there is sufficient humor and twists and turns within it, to entertain certain young at heart adults. It's about a little girl who leads a miserable existence until she discovers a magical, secret world. She and her dog go on an adventure, where they encounter many different characters and there are life lessons to be learned. They have to save the world by destroying the evil witch. The usual fairy tale type characters feature, as well as normal, real life characters. It brings both a traditional fairy tale, adventure story and a more modern retelling into a very readable, flowing mix. It’s so enjoyable that I read through it in one go. I would further note that I will be re-reading it, not just for enjoyment, but to ensure I caught and understood all the little twists and turns, where characters re-appear and become other characters, all very interesting stuff. I also found it quite entertaining that there are lots of compendium pieces available. Hopefully there will be further stories to read in the future.
