FAMILIAR AND HAUNTING

Philippa Pearce

A collection of thirty-seven stories previously published in books or magazines, including tales of animals, ghosts, and everyday life.

Peopled with vivid, unforgettable characters, these stories are by turns mysterious, humorous, strange and sad, but they are always familiar, always haunting and always surprising.

Philippa Pearce is the author of the classic children's book TOM'S MIDNIGHT GARDEN (Oxford University Press), which won the Carnegie Medal in 1958, and has remained in print ever since.

“A classic in the front rank of children's literature” Twentieth Century Children's Writers on TOM'S MIDNIGHT GARDEN

Philippa's other novels include MRS COCKLE'S CAT, THE WAY TO SATTIN SHORE, A DOG SO SMALL and THE LITTLE GENTLEMAN.
In 1997 she was awarded an O.B.E for her services to children's literature.
