The Bloomsbury Nursery Treasury - Tapa blanda

Patricia Borlenghi brings a fresh take to familiar stories, making them ideal for children under five, while Eleanor Taylor adds humour, sweetness and a lot of refreshing detail with the images in this charming book.

Each tale is the perfect length for a bedtime story, or a classroom read. This treasury will take pride of place on home, school and library bookshelves up and down the country.

Patricia Borlenghi divides her time between homes in northern Italy and the Essex countryside. She has worked in children's books all her career, both as a publisher and an author.

Eleanor Taylor lives in Wareham, Dorset, with her husband and three young children. She is the creator of Beep, Beep, Let's Go, as well as the artist of No Trouble At All, written by Sally Grindley, and of Run, Rabbit, Run, for which she won the English 4-11 Award for the Best Children's Illustrated Book of 2001. Eleanor takes part in the Purbeck Arts Week each year, when she opens her house and sells her art.
