Introduced by Grimm Tales author Philip Pullman and leading fairy tale scholar Jack Zipes, The Singing Bones breathes new life into some of the world's most beloved fairy tales.'These little figures of clay, with their simplified features, their single attributes, are perfect realisations of the strangeness of the characters they represent.' - Philip Pullman Author/Illustrator: Shaun Tan Format: Hardcover Page Count: 192 Imprint: A & U Children's Publication Date: 23 Sept 2015 ISBN: 9781760111038 Show more
