With warmth and wit and a large dose of mischief,
Margaret Mahy shares with us the story of Tom and Tomasz, boy and man and of
Najki a large and happy dog with a magical tail capable of granting wishes. Add
the flawless writing of this much-missed and much-appreciated storyteller and
the clever drawings of Tony Ross and there is a special book to read and then
read again and enjoy even more the second time.
Where, I wonder, has this manuscript been hiding
since Margaret died nearly 2 years ago? Are there yet more treasures to be revealed?
