The Wolves in the Walls
**20th ANNIVERSARY EDITION**
Riveting text and astounding art make this a picture book to adore, from award-winning superstar author Neil Gaiman, and illustrated by the hugely talented and award-winning illustrator Dave McKean.
When Lucy hears noises from behind the wall she tries to warn her parents that there are wolves banging about. But her parents don't listen.
When the wolves finally take over the house and Lucy and her family are evicted to live in the garden, her parents realise perhaps they should have listened. But Lucy is no shrinking violet and pretty soon she has the wolves out and the family back in the house.
So what was that noise Lucy heard coming from behind the wall . . . ?
A brilliant, witty and inventive picture book with cutting-edge art, which is sure to be a hit with existing fans of Neil Gaiman as well as young readers.

Neil Gaiman and Dave McKean's The Wolves in the Walls is celebrated for its inventive and madly funny story which also holds an eerie and atmospheric quality. The book combines collage, photography, and drawing, inviting older, fearless readers into a strange and humourous yet unsettling tale. The imaginative illustrations are a standout feature, complementing Gaiman's skilful use of humour and suspense.
