The Café at the Edge of the Woods

‘Exasperated parents of picky eaters will love this gorgeously illustrated, gothic gourmet giggle’ Daily Mail
Welcome to the The Café at the Edge of the Woods, the utterly charming and mesmerising new picture book from BAFTA award-winning writer Mikey Please.
Rene's dreams have finally come true! She's opened a café beside an enchanted wood, and with the help of a newfound waiter, Glumfoot, she is ready to serve the finest cuisine! But the locals seem to favour a most peculiar palette, requesting all sorts of disgusting things.
Can Glumfoot's quick-thinking save the day?
Join Rene and Glumfoot in this incredible other-worldly story full of magical humour, mythical creatures and culinary curiosities.
