The Jamie and Angus Stories

By Anne Fine
Illustrated by Penny Dale

An enchanting and humorous collection of illustrated stories about childhood by the 2001-2003 Children's Laureate.

From the moment Jamie sets eyes on Angus in the shop window, with his silky white coat and forlorn stare, he just knows that they belong together. On Christmas morning, they're finally united and soon the toy Highland bull is Jamie's constant companion. Jamie and Angus. Angus and Jamie.

  • An appealing new cover to tie in with the second Jamie and Angus collection: "Jamie and Angus Together".
  • "A platonic ideal of the kind of book beginner readers need - the stories score highly on all the important points". The Daily Telegraph.
