Featuring classic, mythological and humorous tales, this is a collection of stories especially selected for children aged nine.

As well as being an author and anthologist, Pat Thomson works with teachers as a lecturer and librarian - work which involves a constant search for short stories which have both quality and child-appeal. She is the compiler of many previous, successful age-ranged and subject-ranged anthologies for the Doubleday/Corgi list. She is also an Honorary Vice-President of the Federation of Children's Book Groups. She is married with two grown-up children. uthor lives- Northamptonshire
