The Tale Of Tales by Tony Mitton
A brand new poetry book for children by award-winning poet Tony Mitton. Beautifully illustrated by Peter Bailey, The Tale of Tales is the story of a group of animals who are on a journey. Each animal in turn tells a story to the rest of the group (a bit like in The Canterbury Tales) as they travel on their way. Tony Mitton writes with a tenderness and intelligence that is hard to match. And he's funny too!
