Since the beginning of time, strange and mysterious things have happened here...At the furthest edge of Britain, where the sea gently washes over the land and myths brush against reality, lies Zennor.

Awards & Reviews
| NZ Review |
Master British storyteller and Children's Laureate Morpurgo spins tales of gentle fantasy, otherworldly transformations, kind deeds, and just rewards. . . . Wonderful read-alouds, the lyrical style and fable-like plots of these tales pay tribute to the power of imaginative storytelling. -- Booklist |
