Tales from the Early Days
(Faber and Faber)
978-0571144785, RRP £4.99, Paperback
10-14 Middle/Secondary
Hughes presents an engaging picture of God as a kind of talented hooligan, creating bizarre animals at will and attempting to control his wayward mother. This collection of short stories builds on the style and success of How the Whale Became and explains the existence of creatures as diverse as the peacock and the parrot. Upper Junior/Lower Secondary pupils will love these poetic - often hilarious - stories. Buy a set and read them aloud!
