Without doubt, The Bog Baby (Puffin Books) is an irresistible book. The story is charming and timeless, narrated by the heroine, a little girl - but told when she is grown up, with a little girl of her own. The illustrations are designed to bring awe and wonder to all who will pore over them, and they complement the text perfectly.
The story, written by Jeanne Willis and illustrated by Gwen Millward, is entrancing, and is sure to leave young children (and adults) spellbound. A little girl and her friend go to a place they are not really supposed to go to and there, in a pond, find not a frog or a newt, but a Bog Baby, living in the Bluebell Wood.
