The Cloud Kingdom

Nancy enters fairy land in pursuit of her cat, but the fairies refuse to give him back. As a last resort she offers to tell the fairies stories, and the fairy king and his people quickly become enraptured by her inter-connected tales. A beautiful celebration of the power of storytelling.

When Nancy’s cat Pangur is stolen by the Faery people, she finds herself striking  deal like no other: she is now the one-and-only storyteller for the Faery Kingdom. So starts Máire Zepf’s enchanting story collection, reminiscent of fairytales and fables of past and present, but entirely new.

From ghost dragons to magical hats and a dreamweaving giantess, these are tales that awaken the senses and manage to connect with each other in a way reminiscent of 1001 Arabian Nights, perfect for voracious readers and bedtime story consumers alike.
