Classic fiction (Children's&YA)

Series: Everyman's Library CHILDREN'S CLASSICS

First published in 1924, The Poppy Seed Cakes has established itself as an American classic. Now for the first time children in Britain have a chance to read this enchanting story. Beautiful hardback gift book.

Auntie Katusha has just come from the Old Country, bringing poppy seeds to make cakes for a mischievous four-year-old boy named Andrewshek. A little neighbour, Erminka, who wears red boots which are too big for her, joins Andrewshek for a series of adventures with talking animals, including a greedy goose who steals the cakes; a naughty white goat who hides on the roof; and a kitten, a dog and two chickens who are determined to gatecrash the children's tea party. There is art on every page, featuring cheeky animals, gooseberry tarts, colourful shawls and Russian dolls, and cheerful Auntie Katusha in her kerchiefed and aproned splendour.
