The Gavin Bishop Treasury

The Gavin Bishop Treasury is a very special hardback collection of 10 classic children's stories for young readers to treasure, written and illustrated by the multiple-award-winning New Zealand author Gavin Bishop.

Comprising over two hundred pages of fabulous storytelling and stunning artwork, children will be spellbound by this beautiful hardback gift treasury featuring ten favourite fairy tales and original stories by the acclaimed Gavin Bishop.

Between the covers, you will find four of Gavin's delightful original tales, featuring beloved characters such as drab Mrs McGinty, who becomes a sensation when a fast-growing plant takes off in her yard. You will also meet a rainbow-chasing sheep, a little rabbit who longs to visit the sea, and a bear who decides he can go without his winter sleep.

There are also six of Gavin's delicious, humour-filled fairy tale retellings, including crafty Mr Fox with an empty food sack to fill, the gloriously illustrated Three Little Pigs, and Rats!, in which Mrs Polly Piper, vexed by an infestation of cheeky rodents, accepts help from the dashing, accordion-playing Rapscallion Claw.

This beautiful gift collection will entrance families of all ages and sizes and is the ideal inducement to snuggle up and read together.

The 10 gorgeous stories included in this treasury are: Mrs McGinty and the Bizarre Plant, Bidibidi, Mr Fox, Chicken Licken, A Apple Pie, The Three Little Pigs, Little Rabbit and the Sea, Stay Awake, Bear!, The Three Billy Goats Gruff, and Rats!

Gavin Bishop is a taonga and so is this treasury!

This has just arrived from Book Hero. It is beautiful! Well produced, gorgeous cover, wonderful colours. Bishop’s illustrations are glorious. I cannot wait to share it with the 3 1/2 year old grandson. In fact, I am going to go straight there now! I know he will love it! I already do! I have taken a couple of photos for you … they are not great photos … I have somewhere else I want to be.
