The Gavin Bishop Treasury: 10 Favourite Fairy Stories and Original Tales

A very special hardback collection of 10 classic children's stories for young readers to treasure, written and illustrated by the multiple-award-winning New Zealand author Gavin Bishop.

Comprising over two hundred pages of fabulous storytelling and stunning artwork, children will be spellbound by this beautiful hardback gift treasury of ten favourite fairy tales and original stories by the acclaimed Gavin Bishop.

Between the covers you will find four of Gavin's delightful original tales, featuring such beloved characters as drab Mrs McGinty, who becomes a sensation when a fast-growing plant takes off in her yard, along with a rainbow-chasing sheep, a little rabbit who longs to visit the sea, and a bear who decides he can go without his winter sleep.

There are also six of Gavin's delicious, humour-filled fairy tale retellings, including crafty Mr Fox with an empty food sack to fill, the gloriously illustrated Three Little Pigs, and Rats!, in which Mrs Polly Piper, vexed by an infestation of cheeky rodents, accepts help from the dashing, accordion-playing Rapscallion Claw.

This beautiful gift collection will entrance families of all ages and sizes and is the ideal inducement to snuggle up and read together.

The 10 gorgeous stories included in this treasury are- Mrs McGinty and the Bizarre Plant; Bidibidi; Mr Fox; Chicken Licken; A Apple Pie; The Three Little Pigs; Little Rabbit and the Sea; Stay Awake, Bear!; The Three Billy Goats Gruff; and Rats!
