Emil and the Great Escape

Before there was Horrid Henry, there was Emil - the most mischievous child for miles!

• The appeal of 'Horrid Henry' from the best-selling author of Pippi Longstocking.
• Short, complete chapters, perfect for reading alone and for sharing.
• Plenty of black-and-white illustration from top children's illustrator Tony Ross.
• Both Lauren Child and Francesca Simon - two of the UK's most popular children's authors - cite Astrid Lindgren as an immense influence on their childhood and their books.

"I adored Astrid Lindgren as a child and it was wonderful to discover the hilarious and original adventures of Emil, a little boy who gets his head stuck in soup tureens and hoists his sister up a flagpole. Irresistible." - Francesca Simon, author of Horrid Henry
