Award-winning author, Kevin Crossley-Holland, follows the success of Short, with Short Too!, a collection where even the longest story is very short. A wonderful mix of the best short stories. Some are old, some are new, some are scary, some are funny, but all the stories in this book will make you think. There's Tarvaa and the terrible plague, a bagful of butterflies, ghostly tales from the beyond the grave, and the short life of Barbara the Lamb Who Froze to Death. Baa! Brr! Ahh! Salient Features Author is winner of the Carnegie Medal for Storm and the Guardian Children's Fiction prize for The Seeing Stone.
