Return to Wonderland in this extraordinary reimagining of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, by one of our most brilliant storytellers
England, 1919. Alyce – with a Y – lives with her grandmother, the original Alice, having lost her father during the Great War. When a mysterious invitation to a tea party hits her square in the face, Alyce realises her grandmother’s strange stories of a place called Wonderland might have some truth to them after all.
But the land Alyce finds herself in feels different from the Wonderland of her grandmother’s stories – for it is trapped in its own war. The Sun King and the Queen of the Moon are fighting over a stolen hour, and soon Alyce is tasked with setting it right. With the help of the Hatter, the Cheshire Cat and a Sailor Fox, Alyce will have to solve Wonderland’s problems and, eventually, find her way back home.
Enter an enchanting adventure through Wonderland, featuring stunning illustrations by Matthew Land. Starring new characters and old favourites, Alice With a Why is both a celebration of Lewis Carroll's beloved original story, and a modern masterpiece.
The Dragon Stoorworm was the very first, very worst dragon that
ever lived. It was ginormous: almost as big as the whole of
Scotland! The King of Scotland called for warriors to defeat the
terrible dragon and save his daughter, the Princess Gemdelovely,
from being eaten. But none who faced the dragon ever returned,
until... Gentle Assipattle is no warrior, but maybe together, he
and Princess Gemdelovely can free Scotland from the wrath of the
Dragon Stoorworm. A lively retelling of the traditional Scottish
folk tale of the Dragon Stoorworm (or Mester Stoor Worm), which
explains the origins of Scotland's many islands, adapted for a
young audience. Award-winning author Theresa Breslin's story
unfolds with wry humour while Matthew Land's magical illustrations
capture the fairy-tale beauty of Scotland. The Dragon Stoorworm is
one of the first titles released in the new Picture Kelpies:
Traditional Scottish Tales range of picture books that bring
classic Scottish folk and fairy tales to life for young children.
