Cass and the Beast

When a fearful creature arrives in the township, Cass takes her courage in hand and is rewarded with a wild and magical journey. She is lifted onto the creature’s back and taken on a thundering ride through a forested landscape until the town and the people are far behind. Through her ride with the beast, Cass finds adventure, ferocity and gentleness side by side.

Atmospheric and beautiful illustrations complement an original narrative voice in this compelling collaboration between an author and illustrator from opposite side of the world.

Cass is a thoroughly contemporary heroine who inhabits a story that we feel in our bones like an ancient folktale.
