Four magical tales from the master of storytelling, Garth Nix. Garth Nix will delight younger audiences with this collection of magical adventures where his trademark rich imagination and spellbinding storytelling are sure to capture a new generation of fans. The stories include 'Blackbread the Pirate' - Peter discovers some underground and very rude piratical rats; 'Serena and the Sea Serpent', where a very clever small girl works out how to deal with a terrifying sea monster; 'Bill the Inventor' - Bill is in an orphanage and finding his parents proves rather difficult, even with a marvellous inventor brain, and 'The Princess and the Beastly Beast', where Princess Rinda discovers that beasts are not always beastly...
Garth Nix was born in 1963 and grew up in Canberra, Australia. After taking his degree in professional writing from the University of Canberra, he slowly sank into the morass of publishing industry, steadily devolving from sales rep through publicist, until in 1991 he became a senior editor witha major multinational publisher. After a period in Europe, the Middle East, and Asia in 1993, he left publishing to work as a marketing communications consultant. In 1999, he waas lured back to the publishing world to become a part-time literary agent. He now lives in Sydney, five-minute walk from Coogee Beach, with his wife, Anna, and lots of books.
