The place where C. S. Lewis wrote the Narnia stories, Lewis Carroll met Alice in Wonderland, and Philip Pullman created his Northern Lights trilogy. Christ Church, a college of the University of Oxford, was used as a setting for parts of the Harry Potter films. A Story Museum is being built in Oxford to celebrate these and other local children’s authors.

Originally published by Jonathan Cape Great Britain, in 2009.

A wonderfully witty and utterly charming story about fear.

Jack is lost in the forest—a forest that his mom has told him is full of ferocious wild beasts! But the creatures that Jack meets there seem perfectly friendly to him, even if they are a bit worried about the ferocious wild beasts he’s been telling them about . . .

But then they hear a terrible roar . . . Who can it be?

Award-winning author-illustrator Chris Wormell’s charming illustrations and delightfully clever text combine to make for perfect bedtime reading.
