Inspired by our native landscapes, saturated by the shadows beneath trees & behind doors, listening to the run of water & half-heard voices, Tom Cox s first collection of short stories is a series of evocative & unsettling trips into worlds previously visited by the likes of M. R. James & E. F. Benson. Railway tunnels, the lanes & hills of the Peak District, family homes, old stones, shreds fluttering on barbed wire, night drawing in, something that might be an animal shifting on the other side of a hedge: Tom has drawn on his life-long love of weird fiction, folklore & nature s unregarded corners to write a collection of stories that will delight fans old & new, & leave them very uneasy about turning the reading lamp off. ...

From one of the most acclaimed & dynamic picture book makers of his time comes a book that tests the very meaning of a picture book story, plays havoc with formal type & design & speaks directly to its readers! This is a new picture book from Herve Tullet! How exciting. Open it up
- see what`s inside! Hello! There`s lots of characters. & they`re looking right at YOU. They seem to be a bit surprised... Hmmm, maybe they`re not quite ready? (The drawing`s a bit messy, too. It looks like this illustrator has some more work to do.) Let`s read on & see. Uh-oh
- it seems the characters don`t actually know what to DO! Hang on...there`s not even a STORY because
- guess what?!
- this book isn`t FINISHED! But while you`re here (and because you probably DO want a story, right?) they`re going to try & find one for you. & they might just need the help of a certain author... Tullet takes the concept of reading to a new level & encourages young children to interact with the book form, teaching them, in the process, to think imaginatively, independently & creatively. This is a book full of funny, original ideas: a story within a story complete with photos of Herve Tullet himself talking to the characters. Un livre won the Sorcieres prize in 2010, & was a worldwide bestseller, published in 27 languages.
