Turnip

by Walter de la Mare

Published 1 June 1992
Walter de la Mare's retelling of THE TURNIP, originally a tale from the brothers Grimm, is here brought back to life with the playful and luminescent illustrations of artist Kevin Hawkes. Children will never tire of this classic fable - a cautionary tale in which a humble turnip triumphs over a priceless ruby - and Kevin Hawkes's images fully convey the essence of the author's prose.
