Meet LONG JOHN McRON, SHIP'S COOK . . . and the most unusual babysitter
you've ever seen.
Long John has a whole crew of wild pirates in tow, and – for two
intrepid children – he's about to transform a perfectly ordinary
evening into a riotous adventure beneath a pirate moon. It's time to
make some PIRATE STEW.
Pirate Stew! Pirate Stew!
Pirate Stew for me and you!
Pirate Stew, Pirate Stew
Eat it and you won't be blue
You can be a pirate too!
Marvellously silly and gloriously entertaining, this tale of pirates,
flying ships, donut feasts and some rather magical stew is perfect for
all pirates, both young and old. With a deliciously rhyming text from
master storyteller Neil Gaiman, and spellbinding illustrations by the
supremely talented Chris Riddell, three-times-winner of the Kate
Greenaway Medal, this is the picture book of the year! Joyful, quirky
and action-packed, it makes a spectacular and magical gift.
All legends start somewhere . . . After defeating the evil
Grendilock and saving Cadno, the last firefox, Charlie Challinor is
looking forward to a well-earned rest. But when a familiar face
appears from the realm of Fargone, Charlie's family is once again
swept up into adventure. Along with Lippy, Roo and new magical
friend Blodyn, Charlie must travel to Fargone to face the dreaded
Draig, the shadowy monster that is slowly draining the life from
the land - and uncover the lost secret that links Draig's history
to Charlie's own . . . The magical sequel to The Last Firefox, one
of the most exciting children's debuts of 2022.
