WONDERLINGMIRA BARTOK Book Number: 88747 Product format: HardbackWelcome to the Home for Wayward and Misbegotten Creatures, run by the evil Miss Carbunkle, a cunning villainess who believes her terrified young charges exist only to serve and suffer. For the Wonderling, an innocent, one-eared 'groundling', a mix of fox and boy, the Home is all he has ever known. But when unexpected courage leads him to protect a young bird groundling, Trinket, from being bullied, she in return gives the Wonderling two incredible gifts - a real name, Arthur, like the good king in the old stories, and a best friend. With the help of an ingenious invention by Trinket, the two friends escape from the Home and embark on an extraordinary quest into the wider world. With shimmering language and richly imagined plot, a storybook of wonder, full of song. Much hailed on publication and printed in big quality hardback by Walker Books with decorated pages and atmospheric stunning artwork illustrations throughout. 462pp.
