"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.
