This is one of the most beautiful books for bedtime reading that we’ve seen in a while. Full of strange creatures you’ll never have heard of from a Boomjangle and a Crabbysnap to a Giant Galumph to the Grimbles on Mars. And then of course there’s the place where the Tickle Tree grows.
Chae Strathie is an award-winning children’s author and journalist who grew up in a tiny village surrounded by a forest in Scotland, which probably explains a lot. His first attempt at professional writing was creating a Star Wars comic at the age of seven. He sold two copies and made a total of four pence. A regular at major book festivals, Chae has toured the length and breadth of the UK and visited schools as far afield as Romania, reading his stories, acting the goat and singing silly songs about worm ice cream and beard-growing. He lives by the sea in Fife with his wife, three annoying cats and a very old goldfish called Lazarus.
