Eight wonderfully imaginative modern fairy tales from the mind of Joan Aiken, now back in print after 30 years
Rediscover the A Puffin Book series and bring the best-loved classics to a new generation – including this wonderful new edition of The Winter Sleepwalker and Other Stories.
Join master storyteller Joan Aiken and illustrator extraordinaire Quentin Blake for eight original and wildly imaginative modern fairy tales.
From Martian dinosaurs and eight-legged horses to a girl cursed to turn into a pink snake on Sundays, these weird and wonderful short stories weave folktale, fantasy and modernity into something entirely unexpected.
Told with Aiken’s distinctive wit and brought to life by Blake’s marvellously atmospheric illustrations, these surreal, sublime and endlessly enjoyable tales are perfect for reading alone or together.
