Stories by Joan Aiken, Christianna Brand, Helen Cresswell, Marjorie Darke, Dorothy Edwards, Diana Wynne Jones, Gene Kemp, and Ursula Moray Williams.

Funny things can happen in the most ordinary places. At Frogover Road School, for instance, when the dinner ladies go on strike and Gerry's grandmam comes to the rescue. Or at the seaside where Aunt Bea's day out takes her much further than she expected. Or in the Crasks' house, where a cat-flap and an apple pie and two New cherry trees play important parts in a hilarious story about a not-so-ordinary summer morning.

And funny things can hapen to ordinary people, too, to children like Vi, whose day at the Gymkhana is full of surprises. And to Peter and Emma who try to make a big Sunday afternoon bang. And to Harriet, who wants to have a ghost of her own.

You can meet these people - and lots of others, too - in this marvellous collection of humorous stories which have been specially written for children by eight of their favourite authors. The stories have been brought together by Lance Salway, who is himself a writer for children, and superbly illustrated by Jill Bennett.

The Cat-Flap and the Apple Pie is a book packed with fun and laughter and children will return to these stories again and again.
