First-time appearance in A Puffin Book series of favourite stories for children

Twelve stories written for the author’s daughter, who was scared of the wolf under the bed! Drawing occasionally on well-known fairy tales, and skillfully blending fantasy and reality, these stories are bursting with humour, originality and charm. And Polly, not scared at all, outwits the wolf on each and every occasion! With the original illustrations by Marjorie-Ann Watts.
