The HarperCollins Children's Classics

A spine-tingling magical fantasy and modern classic from the author of Charlie Bone, Jenny Nimmo. ''Time to find out if you are a magician, Gwyn ...'' Gwyn''s grandmother leaves him five gifts: a brooch, a piece of dried seaweed, a tin whistle, a scarf, and a broken toy horse. She tells him they will help make him a magician - but can Gwyn use them to bring his missing sister, Bethan, home? The Snow Spider won the 1986 Smarties Grand Prix and it was awarded the Tir na n-Og Award in 1987. Combining all of Jenny Nimmo''s trademark elements - unusual but compelling characters, stunning magic and a rich, vibrant story - The Snow Spider is perfect for readers aged 8 and up and fans of Harry Potter, Moondial and Tom''s Midnight Garden. This edition features special bonus content, including an interview with Jenny Nimmo, a Welsh language glossary and the chance to find out about the Welsh legends that inspired the story. ''A heart-warming story full of wonder and magic'' - Julia Eccleshare
