Synopsis

“This must be among Helen Oxenbury’s most beautiful work … exquisite” The Times


"What’s that noise?” said Jack. “It’s coming from the forest,” said Alice. “Let’s go and see!”

From Helen Oxenbury, the illustrator of We're Going on a Bear Hunt, and Timothy Knapman, the author of Soon, comes the story of a brother and sister, and their adventure in the woods. When Alice and Jack are out playing, they hear a strange noise. Alice wants to know what it is, but Jack is afraid. He thinks it might be the Wicked Wolf with big, bad claws and snap-trap jaws. But Alice takes his hand and they follow the noise, right into the heart of the forest… Just what will they discover there?

Timothy Knapman's powerful, atmospheric narration alongside Helen Oxenbury’s spectacular illustrations skilfully convey Jack’s growing fear and Alice’s curious excitement, all the while building toward the reveal of that mysterious sound…

A propos du livre

À propos des auteurs

I have written lots of picture book stories (including Mungo and the Picture Book Pirates, Dinosaurs in the Supermarket and Eleanor’s Eyebrows) and a few books for older children (of which my favourite is My Uncle Foulpest: Dinosaur Disaster). I write funny stories mostly, and, when I’m not writing for children, I write plays and I co-write musicals (with clever people who can write music because I can’t). I live in Surrey, which is very nice – but disappointingly empty of dragons.

Helen Oxenbury is an English illustrator and author of over 100 books for young children, and has sold over 50 million copies. She is widely regarded as one of the world’s most eminent and critically-acclaimed illustrators. Helen’s books include the beloved We’re Going on a Bear Hunt, written by Michael Rosen; Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, by Lewis Carroll; Farmer Duck, written by Martin Waddell; and her own classic board books for babies. Helen is a two-time winner of the Kate Greenaway Medal, received the Carnegie Medal for Illustration and won the BookTrust Lifetime Achievement Award in 2018, a joint win with her late husband and world-renowned illustrator John Burningham. She lives in London.
