"Joan Aiken is a marvel." The Guardian

From the beloved author of The Wolves of Willoughby Chase,
comes an extraordinary collection of adventures.

Published here as a brand-new anthology for the very first
time, each story introduces readers to a host of strange and wonderful
characters as well as magical and imaginary parts of the city we never knew
existed - an ancient and rather wild part of London called Rumbury Town.

Introduced by Kiran Millwood Hargrave, best-selling author
of The Girl of Ink and Stars, this beautiful gift edition hardback, is
the perfect read for children thirsty for classic adventure and fun.
