The feel-good place to buy books
A Cat, a Hat, and a Piece of String, A by Joanne Harris
Conjured from a wickedly imaginative pen, this book includes tales that combine the everyday with the unexpected; wild fantasy with bittersweet reality. It features a house where it is Christmas all year round; the ghost who lives on a Twitter timeline; and a newborn baby created with sugar, spice and lashings of cake.
"Harris's 16 interconnected short stories are witty and magical" Vogue "Wickedly imaginative...From the man who decides every day will be Christmas, to the baby conjured of sugar and spice, these fantastical tales still speak volumes about everyday life." Glamour Magazine "A moreish collection...comical, scary, sad and surreal" Independent "A delicious collection...Funny, sad, touching and thoughtful, these cleverly wrought tales once again confirm Joanne Hariis as a skilled storyteller." Choice
Joanne Harris is one of our best-loved and most versatile novelists. She first appeared on the scene with the bestselling Chocolat (made into an Oscar-nominated film with Juliette Binoche and Johnny Depp), which turned into the sensuous Lansquenet trilogy (with Lollipop Shoes and Peaches for Monsieur le Cure). She has since written acclaimed novels in such diverse genres as fantasy based on Norse myth (Runemarks, Runelight, The Gospel of Loki), and the Malbry cycle of dark psychological thrillers (Gentlemen & Players, Blueeyedboy, and now Different Class). Born in Barnsley, of an English father and a French mother, she spent fifteen years as a teacher before (somewhat reluctantly) becoming a full-time writer. In 2013, she was awarded an MBE. She lives in Yorkshire, plays bass in a band first formed when she was sixteen, works in a shed in her garden, spends far too much time online and occasionally dreams of faking her own death and going to live in Hawaii.
