What would you do if you found yourself in a fairytale? This stunning picture book guides you through a fantasy world where anything is possible
Touch the wooden gate in the wall you never saw before,
say 'please' before you open the latch, go through,
walk down the path . . .
Come with award-winning author Neil Gaiman on a journey with a cast of mythical characters, with a set of instructions that is both intriguing and reassuring. But these aren't ordinary instructions: these are secret ways to protect yourself and find your way in life.
The advice for travelling through a fairytale landscape might just save you from being eaten by wolves or being lost for ever, but it is also a charming metaphor for living courageously and taking risks.
Illustrated throughout with gorgeous art by Charles Vess, whose work can also be seen in Neil Gaiman's Blueberry Girl and Susanna Clarke's The Ladies of Grace Adieu.
