A 'treasure trove'... each of the stories in this glittering hoard is superb... lively, funny, and slightly unruly.
Praise for Dust 'n' Bones and Fangs 'n' Fire:
The art of storytelling pervades this textures tapestry of tales with a twist.
A great primer of ghost stories for older children and younger teens.
Brilliantly written and illustrated with cool and colourful drawings.
Entertaining and commendably presented anthology of short tales of seafaring, treasure hunting, and their consequences.
Every few years, a book comes along which is an absolute stand-out in its genre and this just such a one. A wonderfully varied collection of self penned and traditional sea stories. Beautifully written, beautifully illustrated and beautifully produced, this is a book to read and escape to other worlds, with illustrations to pore over and to treasure. A wonderful book - don't miss it.
