In and Out of the Schnoodle Bag
by John Foley
#11989
‘This is my schnoodle bag,’ said Aziz. ‘Keep it with you and you’ll never want for stories.’ – and I never have, as you’ll discover in this collection of 16 of them in which anyone and anything can have a voice: from a social-climbing sock and a shadow thief to a lovesick umbrella and a gold-lusting king. As for what happens in their stories and in the other dozen you’ll be surprised. I know I was. Perfect for ages 10 to 110
