Imagine ordering a sunny day from the local weather witch, asking an apple tree to answer the telephone and making a beautiful garden out of old cereal boxes. What would you do if you inherited a real hair loom, or found three ugly old ladies and a dragon on your doorstep' And would you need a bicycle if you had a unicorn to ride' Anything is magically possible in these twelve short stories by gifted story-teller Joan Aiken.
