Thrilled about this lovely review of Two Trickster Tales from Russia in Reading Time, the magazine of the Children’s Book Council of Australia!

Very exciting news: we are thrilled to announce that we have now contracted two wonderful authors to write our next two titles, to appear in 2014!

First,in May 2014, will be Two Selkie Stories from Scotland, hauntingly retold by Kate Forsyth, one of Australia’s best writers of fantasy for both adults and children. These magical stories of the beings who are seals in the sea and people on land will enthrall young readers and older ones alike. They will be gorgeously illustrated by Fiona McDonald.

Second, in September 2014, will be Two Tales of Twins from Ancient Greece and Rome, in a wonderfully fresh and lively retelling by Ursula Dubosarsky, multi-award winning children’s author. The stories of twin gods Artemis and Apollo and the twin legendary founders of Rome, Romulus and Remus,  will capture young readers’ imaginations and introduce them to Classical myth and legend in an enticing and exciting way. To be gorgeously illustrated by David Allan.
