 "I was there, " Papa Toto said, and those magic words sent shivers down my spine. It was going to be the Wizard story. "Dorothy and me were both there."We were all silent, snuggled up together, waiting, waiting. Then Papa Toto began.

 When a twister descends on their Kansas farm, Toto and his owner Dorothy hide in the house - only to be plucked into the air and whisked away!

 Coming down with a crash in the mysterious land of Oz, the pair meet a series of extraordinary characters: a scarecrow who believes he has no brains, a tin man without a heart, and a cowardly lion who may not be as cowardly as he thinks he is.

 But Toto and Dorothy are desperate to return home - after all, home is home, and home is best! So they set off with their new friends on a journey down the yellow brick road to find the only person who might be able to help them: the Wonderful Wizard of Oz.

 But what they find might surprise them. And on the way, all of them will learn that what they think they are missing might have been there, all along.

 Beautifully illustrated throughout, this is an unforgettable telling of a classic story.

Le bonhomme de neige

"Je suis probablement le pantin le plus célèbre que le monde ait jamais connu. Vous savez sûrement pourquoi mon nez s'allonge... Mais vous ne connaissez pas ma véritable histoire ! C'est pourquoi j'ai pensé qu'il était temps pour moi, Pinocchio, de vous la raconter avec mes propres mots. Vous pourrez voir que, quelle que soit notre nature, pour nous tous, grandir est une période difficile mais passionnante..."

The stunning new novel of World War One from Michael Morpurgo, the nation’s favourite storyteller and multi-million copy bestseller. May, 1915. Alfie and his fisherman father find a girl on an uninhabited island in the Scillies - injured, thirsty, lost…and with absolutely no memory of who she is, or how she came to be there. She can say only one word: Lucy. Where has she come from? Is she a mermaid, the victim of a German U-boat, or even - as some islanders suggest - a German spy…? Only one thing is for sure: she loves music and moonlight, and it is when she listens to the gramophone that the glimmers of the girl she once was begin to appear. WW1 is raging, suspicion and fear are growing, and Alfie and Lucy are ever more under threat. But as we begin to see the story of Merry, a girl boarding a great ship for a perilous journey across the ocean, another melody enters the great symphony - and the music begins to resolve…A beautiful tour de force of family, love, war and forgiveness, this is a major new novel from the author of PRIVATE PEACEFUL - in which what was once lost may sometimes be found, washed up again on the shore…

Le mystère de Lucy Lost

Au Moyen Âge, vers l'an 1300, un tragique événement se serait produit en Allemagne. Une centaine d'enfants auraient quitté la petite ville de Hamelin pour une raison inconnue. Sur un vitrail qui a aujourd'hui disparu, on les voyait en compagnie d'un joueur de flûte. Que s'est-il passé ? Un drame a-t-il réellement eu lieu ? Nul ne le sait. Toujours est-il que cette histoire a enflammé l'imagination de Michael Morpurgo, qui, après les frères Grimm, revisite ici à sa manière et avec originalité la célèbre légende.Conteur de génie internationalement reconnu, Michael Morpurgo a publié de nombreux livres qui ont donné lieu à de multiples traductions et adaptations, au cinéma comme au théâtre (Cheval de guerre, Le Roi Arthur, Hansel et Gretel).Illustré par Emma Chichester Clark.

Le Joueur de flûte de Hamelin

Ashley is uncomfortable with this false position and leaves their warm companionship to continue his hard journey, all alone, across into India. Against the odds, Ashley survives the harsh winter conditions to eventually return home to his father.
