The simple whim of an ordinary worm, a naughty, thieving dog, a nervous hedge-hog and a fantasising tree achieve their far reaching desires. The unbelievable adventures of a small boy finding his way to the sea-side, having been thrown from the car or was he ? The antics of a toy rabbit who sits bored to bits all day on Cecelias bed. And the clever way that Daniel finds out what an Oggle Boggle really is. All are four intreguing stories, the characters sometimes interwoven, but individually told in an amazing yet gentle way. No scary dreams after hearing these. Well, maybe just a bit !

Thomas loves to tell stories. Big stories. Stories about how skilled he is on the land. But when one of his friends grows tired of his tall tales, Thomas has to prove how skilled he really is. Taking the challenge to spend a night alone in the forest, Thomas heads into the wilderness. The trees, who have heard his stories, watch him tear off their bark and litter as he goes. And so, while Thomas sleeps, they dance a dance that will leave Thomas with a very different kind of story to tell--if he can find his way home... In this book, Masiana Kelly draws on the beauty of the Northwest Territories and the wisdom of Elders to illustrate the importance of treating the land around us with respect.

A collection of twenty-three stories from one of the most influential figures in modern Japanese literature. Yasunari Kawabata is widely known for his innovative short stories, some called "palm-of-the-hand" stories short enough to fit into ones palm. This collection reflects Kawabata's keen perception, deceptive simplicity, and the deep melancholy that characterizes much of his work. The stories were written between 1923 and 1929, and many feature autobiographical events and themes that reflect the painful losses he experienced early in his life.
