The Orchard Book of Opera Stories - Tapa blanda

Come and share in the excitement of a night at the opera in this glorious collection of eight favourite opera stories. You'll find magic flutes, dragons and witches, princesses popping out of oranges and princes in disguise! The tales are brilliantly retold by Adele Geras and beautifully illustrated by some of today's leading children's artists, including Jane Ray, Ian Beck and Emma Chichester Clark.

Award-winning author Adèle Geras spent much of her childhood moving from place to place. To date Adèle has written over 100 books for children, including the bestselling 'The Ballet Class' for Orchard and the highly acclaimed 'Troy' (Scholastic) which was shortlisted for The Whitbread Prize. A great deal of her poetry has been published in various magazines and anthologies. She lives just outside Cambridge with her husband.
