A Harp Of Fishbones by Joan Aiken
Fourteen wonderfully told tales of magic and fantasy to captivate children of all ages. Among them the story of Nerryn and her magical harp of fishbones, the werewolf boy who can outrun an express train, the extraordinary hatching of a griffin in an airing cupboard and many more besides. These are rich, haunting and often humorous stories from a unique imagination. Illustrated atomspherically inside in black and white, with evocative and stunning cover artwork.
Joan Aiken is the author of over a hundred books for adults and children, many of them classics. She worked on the magazine, Argosy, and wrote hundreds of short stories before her first novel, The Wolves of Willoughby Chase, was published in the early '60s. It was highly praised in Time magazine and its success allowed Joan to write full-time thereafter. She has said, "I would never want to do anything but write stories. It is inventing your own world, using all the bits of the real one that you like best. And that is something you can do anywhere, at any time."
