DRINK OF WATER AND OTHER STORIES

Book number: 92063 Product format: Hardback Author: JOHN YEOMAN & QUENTIN BLAKE

In stock

Bibliophile price £7.00
Published price £10.95


Considered now a 20th century children's classic, this charming children's book of animal fables was first published in 1960 and was the first children's book either Quentin Blake the illustrator or John Yeoman ever published. It exudes all the warmth and wit we have come to expect of their collaborations. Who would believe it could be so hard to get a drink of water? And to find it at last, cool and fresh but out of reach - that was a problem indeed for a young monkey. Luckily for him, he had an observant and logical mind. This was more than could be said for the dog that made friends with the bear, or the vain jackdaw; and as for the silly ewe and the nanny goat, well, one might call it guile or one might call it simplicity that kept the wolves at bay. The Heron and the Crane, The Kitten and the Vixen and The Jungle Band are among the seven tales included in this beautiful collection with colour illustrations. 64pp. A companion to 92054 Boy Who Sprouted Antlers.

SKUNK

In stock

Bibliophile price £2.25
Published price $17.99


The writer and cartoon illustrator are both New York Times bestselling authors and Caldecott Children's Book Honor-winners. Here their winning combination presents a humorous story of Skunk. The black and white creature with the red blob on his nose waltzes through the city following the gentleman with the large glasses, tailcoat and red bow tie. Black and white and red all over, we visit the opera house where the Skunk sits on top of an old lady's head as she looks through her spy glasses, through the sculpture garden and the cemetery, on to the Ferris wheel, down an alley which was a dead end, into the sewers and finally back in the gentleman's bedroom. Guess who was waiting there for me? Nobody. The pages then turn to colour illustrations, the party begins, but can the man still find The Skunk? A big picture book for children of all ages and collectors of fine children's illustrated books, this is a slyly hilarious tale. Large format.

ANDERSEN'S FAIRY TALES: SELECTED STORIES

Book number: 23958 Product format: Paperback Author: HANS CHRISTIAN ANDERSEN

In stock

Bibliophile price £4.00


Hans Christian Andersen (1805-1875) was born in Odense, the son of a shoemaker. His early life was wretched, but he was adopted by a patron and became a short-story writer, novelist and playwright, though he remains best known for his magical fairy tales, which were published between 1835 and 1872. For 150 years his stories have been delighting both adults and children. Packed with light-hearted whimsy combined with mature wisdom they are as entrancing as ever. Here over 40 of Andersen's 168 tales, and among the favourites are The Red Shoes, The Mermaid, The Real Princess, The Emperor's New Clothes, The Tinder-Box and, of course, The Ugly Duckling. Illus. throughout. 400pp. Paperback.

In stock

Bibliophile price £8.50


For Little Slugs aged 5+ and every fan of Matilda, this quality product from The Book People is a light up canvas artwork measuring 19.5cm across and 30cm or 12" tall, white stretched canvas across a wooden frame with the text 'I'm wondering what to read next' and the unmistakeable line art of Quentin Blake showing Matilda herself with a book wide open, standing on a pile of books reading aloud to a crowd of eight merry children with their hands raised and smiling gleefully, throwing pens and books and bags and shoes into the air. Non-replaceable LED bulbs are supplied and 3 x AA batteries (not included) are required. Best of all, the LED lights can change colour as the artwork YOU have coloured in is illuminated: the book can become pink, Matilda's face a fleshy colour and her long hair darkened. Very clever stuff and a quality gift product.
