Berlie Doherty, with her fantastic flare for storytelling, puts a different slant on a familiar fairytale. With beautiful line-drawn chapterheads by illustrator Steven Wood, this quirky set of stories within a story are perfect for children reading on their own, or for those adults reading with them.
Which Jack were you after ? Uncle Jack, Daft Jack or Jack the Giant Killer ? They all have a story to tell, a legend to forge, stories filled with giants, dragons, tricks and magic... Will Jill find the Jack she's been looking for ?
