A wicked selection of Walliams’ Dahl-esque stories with wonderful illustrations from the multi-award-winning Tony Ross.

All very suitable for the 9+ reader, great for reading to younger children and ideal for older reluctant readers. When Elsie, an orphan on the streets of Victorian London, hears about the mysterious Ice Monster – a woolly mammoth found at the North Pole – she’s determined to discover more… A chance encounter brings Elsie face to face with the creature, and sparks the adventure of a lifetime – from London to the heart of the Arctic!
