Gavin Bishop Treasury

"Comprising over two hundred pages of fabulous storytelling and stunning artwork, children will be spellbound by this ... treasury of ten favourite fairy tales and original stories by ... Gavin Bishop. Between the covers you will find four of Gavin's delightful original tales, featuring such beloved characters as drab Mrs McGinty, who becomes a sensation when a fast-growing plant takes off in her yard, along with a rainbow-chasing sheep, a little rabbit who longs to visit the sea, and a bear who decides he can go without his winter sleep. There are also six of Gavin's delicious, humour-filled fairy tale retellings, including crafty Mr Fox with an empty food sack to fill, the gloriously illustrated Three Little Pigs, and Rats!, in which Mrs Polly Piper, vexed by an infestation of cheeky rodents, accepts help from the dashing, accordion-playing Rapscallion Claw"
