About this ebook
How did "Billy of the Flies" get his name?
Where did the mysterious creature washed up on the beach come from?
What would it be like if you woke up one morning to find that no one recognised you?
And why have you never heard of Leonardo da Vinci's greatest masterpiece – The Madonna and Chicken?
All the answers can be found in this collection of short stories that range from comedy and horror, to science fiction and mystery, many with an unexpected twist.
Most are infused with the spirit of the New Zealand landscape, where creatures of myth and magic still lurk in the dark corners...
This short-story collection is aimed at readers aged 9 and above
