Children’s author Katherine Rundell introduces original poems, stories and illustrations from more than 110 children’s writers and illustrators including Michael Morpurgo, Jacqueline Wilson, Anthony Horowitz and Axel Scheffler in a new collection of stories and poems and essays and drawings - including cats and hares and plastic-devouring caterpillars, doodles and flowers, revolting and beautiful poems, and stories of space travel and new shoes and dragons.

"It’s dedicated to the doctors, nurses, carers and all those working in hospitals to protect us: they are the stuff that wild, heroic tales are made of ..." says Katherine Rundell.
