Quest, a volume of seventeen stories aimed at children, will whisk
you away from dark bedrooms to new dimensions and fantasy realms,
via the Russian countryside and modern Rome. You'll encounter
talking field mice, invisible friends, flying kraiks, white
elephants, runaway books and wardrobes that act as magic portals.
Hopping across all sorts of genres and showcasing authors from all
over Europe - from the Basque country and Cyprus to Iceland and the
Czech Republic - this book is certain to broaden horizons and
engage the reader in all kinds of fun. Hay Festival is delighted to
present Aarhus 39, a two-volume collection of the best emerging
writers for young readers from across wider Europe. Three of among
Europe's best loved children's authors - Matt Haig (UK), Kim Fupz
Aakeson (Denmark) and Ana Cristina Herreros (Spain) - have selected
thirty-nine writers under the age of forty, and invited them to
write an original story on the theme of "journey". These new
stories, together with the specially commissioned illustrations
that accompany them, are a celebration of great new writing for
young people and reflect issues facing them in contemporary Europe.
Reading stories of other people's lives and journeys extends
understanding and empathy to new generations.
