«A Necklace of Raindrops and Other Stories» is a collection of children's fantasy stories by Joan Aiken, in paperback, with 80 pages and text in English.
Eight fantasy stories with a classic fairy-tale feel: a flying apple pie, a cat bigger than an elephant and a house that lays eggs coexist with goblins, travellers and characters who step out of books. Joan Aiken's prose is imaginative and warm, and the illustrations accompany each story for shared reading.
The volume includes, among others, the stories «El gato Mog», «Un collar de gotas de lluvia» and «La colcha de retales», with illustrations by Jan Pieńkowski.
Suitable for early readers and for bedtime story sessions.
