About this title

Review:

"This is an expectional collection, with especially fine contributions . . . Superbly presented, with the quirky genius of Blake everywhere" -- Amanda Craig * The Times * "Many well-loved artists and writers have created all sorts of birthdays - magical, adventurous, mysterious, poetic, joyful and inspiring - just like real life. All royalties from this book go straight to support children who need it most - so buy a copy, enjoy reading and rereading it and feel good to have helped others less fortunate" * Carousel * "A beautifully put together collection" -- Charlie Higson * Mail on Sunday * "A timeless treasure" * Irish Examiner * "A great way to introduce children to some of the classics" * Junior *
