Each story is brilliantly brought to life by illustrator Guy Shield’s specially commissioned artworks. There’s an extra 16 pages, made possible thanks to the generous support of the Copyright Agency’s Cultural Fund, to showcase even more writing, and give you even more time to kick back and enjoy that simple pleasure of discovering a good read.
