'The stories are beautifully told.....vivid human portrayal.....represents more than just a retelling.'

Jewish Chronicle

'It takes a special kind of talent to bring Bible stories alive for children in an unpatronising and appealing way.'

Northern Echo

If you find reading the Bible a bit tricky sometimes, then take a look at God's Kingdom.

Questing Knights of the Faerie Queen
Illustrated by JASON COCKCROFT

You won’t find the Land of Faerie on any atlas. It exists beyond Geography and outside Time – not Now, not Then, but somewhere in between.

Hodder Children’s Books

‘This version of Spenser’s Faerie Queen will offer adults and children several hours of memorable reading together.’

Irish Times

‘If you want a classic story retold with erudition, accessibility and flair, you go to Geraldine McCaughrean and you leave it to her to weave her magic’

Gilgamesh - The Hero
Illustrated by DAVID PARKINS This is the oldest story in the world - older than the Odyssey, older that the Iliad, older even than the Bible.
And it's all about the things that matter most to us today: friendship, fame, courage, happiness.

'Altogether a powerful and classic retelling of the famous story, well within the understanding of juniors and early teens.'

School Librarian

Cyrano

The most romantic story ever told. 'The course of true love never did run smooth'. Especially for Cyrano, cursed with a monstrosity of a nose, and in love with Roxanne, the most beautiful woman in town. This beautifully told version of Cyrano's story will touch the heart of anyone who believes in the power of true love.

Oxford University Press

'If Geraldine McCaughrean's proficiency as a storyteller can be encapsulated in a single talent, it is her ability to create a strong and distinct atmosphere in everything she writes.'

Times Educational Supplement

'....a perfectly balanced combination of humour and pathos, imbuing the romance with her own spectacular verbal image.'

Lindsay Fraser, Sunday Herald.

'This book's strength lies in the poetry of McCaughrean's language, the period flavour and the elaborate humour (successfully translated against the odds) and, not least, all those nose jokes'.
