Rats' Tales

Rats' Tales brings together a hugely entertaining, dark and magical cycle of folk tales from around the world.

The volume contains two texts for each story: Poet Laureate Carol Ann Duffy's wonderful prose and Melly Still's lively dramatization.

Rats' Tales celebrates the power of storytelling and will be published to coincide with the premiere at the Royal Exchange, Manchester, in November 2012.
