From the multi-award-winning Neil Gaiman comes the biggest picture book of the year: a joyfully riotous, brilliantly anarchic, deliciously rhyming adventure, with glorious piratical illustrations by Chris Riddell
´Neil Gaiman is the nearest thing children´s books have to a rock star: if you enjoy fantasy, he is irresistible´ The Times
Meet LONG JOHN McRON, SHIP´S COOK . . . and the most unusual babysitter you´ve ever seen.
Long John has a whole crew of wild pirates in tow, and - for two intrepid children - he´s about to transform a perfectly ordinary evening into a riotous adventure beneath a pirate moon. It´s time to make some PIRATE STEW.
Pirate Stew! Pirate Stew!
Pirate Stew for me and you!
Pirate Stew, Pirate Stew
Eat it and you won´t be blue
You can be a pirate too!
Marvellously silly and gloriously entertaining, this tale of pirates, flying ships, donut feasts and some rather magical stew is perfect for all pirates, both young and old.
With a deliciously rhyming text from master storyteller Neil Gaiman, and spellbinding illustrations by the supremely talented Chris Riddell, three-times-winner of the Kate Greenaway Medal, this is the picture book of the year! Joyful, quirky and action-packed, it makes a spectacular and magical gift.
