the parent trap - Pushkin Children`s Books
Just as we all are, children are fascinated by stories. From the earliest age, we love to hear about monsters and heroes, romance and death, disaster and rescue, from every place and time. In 2013, we created Pushkin Children’s Books to share these tales from different languages and cultures with younger readers, and to open the door to the wide, colourful worlds these stories offer. From picture books and adventure stories to fairytales and classics, and from fifty-year-old bestsellers to current huge successes abroad, the books on the Pushkin Children’s list reflect the very best stories from around the world, for our most discerning readers of all: children. THE LETTER FOR THE KING TONKE DRAGT, ILLUSTRATED BY THE AUTHOR A Sunday Times, Times and Metro Book of the Year—now in paperback! The fate of a kingdom depends on just one person… tonke dragt was (b. Indonesia, 1930). When she was 12, she was imprisoned in a Japanese camp during the war, where she wrote her first book using begged and borrowed paper. After the war, her family moved to the Netherlands, where she became an art teacher. In 1962 she pub lished her most famous story, The Letter for the King, which won the Children’s Book of the Year Award and has been translated into 16 languages. Its sequel, The Secrets of the Wild Wood, will be published by Pushkin Children’s Books in 2015. Dragt was awarded the State Prize for Youth Literature in 1976 and knighted in 2001. When sixteen-year-old Tiuri answers a desperate call for help, he finds himself on a perilous mission that could cost him his life. He must deliver a secret letter to the King who lives across the Great Mountains —a letter upon which the future of the entire realm depends. It means abandoning his home, breaking all the rules and leaving everything behind —even the knighthood that he has dreamed of for so long. He must trust no one. He must keep his true identity secret. Above all, he must never reveal what is in the letter.

And then the king will not knight me tomorrow. Tiuri turned the key, opened the door a crack and peered out into the night. A man stood outside the door, dressed in a monk’s habit, with the hood pulled down over his eyes. Tiuri could not see his face, as it was too dark. He opened the door a little wider and waited in silence for the man to speak. “Thank you!” whispered the stranger. Tiuri did not reply. The stranger waited for a moment and then said, still in a whisper, “I need your help. It’s a matter of life and death! Will you help me? Please.” ‘A passionate struggle to find justice, truth and chivalry in a world permeated by evil ... captivating’ Sunday Times ‘Gripping from its opening moment ... doesn’t miss a beat ... a thrilling adventure which is full of heart’ Julia Eccleshare ‘A pulse-pounding epic ... will keep all high-fantasy addicts riveted from the first page’ Metro ‘Gripping, delightful and true’ Guardian pushkin children’s 2014 5 THE POINTLESS LEOPARD COLAS GUTMAN, ILLUSTRATED BY DELPHINE PERRET A walk in the woods turns into a funny, philosophical and charming adventure colas gutman’s parents were writers, and for a long time he was convinced that it was the worst profession in the world ... Until one day the joy of writing grabbed him. And it hasn’t let him go since. He is still a big kid, and writes his books in exactly the same way he used to do his homework when he was younger—lying on his bed, using a comic book as his desk. In this witty tale of insistent parents and talking animals, a child questions his purpose. In the country, there’s nothing to do, except: admire. It’s the same as being bored, but with your eyes wide open. The hilarious story of grumpy city-child Leonard, forced to go for country walks with his greenery-loving mum and dad, is a wonderful reminder of what use we may be to the world. What do we know? What can we do? And is any of it of real value? The Pointless Leopard is a charming tale for all, about the parts we play in the lives of others. An author and illustrator, delphine perret has already published a dozen children’s books of her own, as well as illustrating many others.

Louise is from Vienna and has long, curly locks; Lottie is from Munich and wears her hair in two severe plaits—but that’s truly the only difference between them.
