From a father daughter collaboration comes this wonderfully imaginative and delightful selection of stories for children, of all ages. Influenced in the writing by Aesop, H. C. Andersen, Grimm et al, the writer brings a human evocation of animals and objects clearly, and sublimely, his own, to create stories both engaging and unforgettable. Told in words and pictures, some are funny, some are fantastical, some whimsical and others hauntingly bleak - but all are utterly captivating And while todays readers might revel in tales of everyday life from cars to clocks to rockets and rubbish bins, nevertheless all will succumb entirely to the enduring and timeless appeal of the truly enchanting 'Beautiful Coat'.
