OKSA POLLOCK: THE LAST HOPE
ANNE PLICHOTA & CENDRINE WOLF
A new heroine, an old evil, an unforgettable adventure
Just as we all are, children are fascinated
by stories. From the earliest age, we love to
hear about monsters and heroes, romance
and death, disaster and rescue, from every
place and time.
We created Pushkin Children’s Books to
share these tales from different languages
and cultures with younger readers, and to
open the door to the wide, colourful worlds
these stories offer.
The books in 2015 come from all corners
of the world: from the Netherlands and
Japan to Brazil and Russia, they have
thrilled and delighted millions of children
(and their parents) across four continents
and more than seven decades. We’re
particularly excited to be publishing The
Secrets of the Wild Wood, the long-awaited
sequel to the bestselling The Letter for the
King, as well as From the Mixed-up Files
of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler, an American
classic back at last in the UK. Along with
Dot and Anton, another book by the formidable Erich Kästner, and stories about
penguins, cats, rabbits and whales, this list
reflects the very best stories from around
the world, for our most discerning readers
of all: children.
THE SNOW QUEEN
HANS CHRISTIAN ANDERSEN, ILLUSTRATED BY LUCIE ARNOUX
A fresh new translation of one of the world’s best and most inspiring fairy tales
When Kay is cursed by a magic mirror, he
can no longer perceive goodness in
anything – not his best friend Gerda, nor
the roses in the garden. One wintery
evening, he is kidnapped by the wicked
Snow Queen and swept away to live for
ever in her kingdom of ice.
Gerda must travel through inhospitable
and frozen lands, sustained only by the
kindness of strangers, in order to find her
beloved friend. And when she gets there,
how will she melt the ice in his heart?
Nearly two centuries after its first
publication, The Snow Queen endures as a
tale of love and loss, good and evil, and
loyalty in the face of great hardships.
HANS CHRISTIAN ANDERSEN (1805-1875)
is one of the best-loved tellers of fairy
tales. He was born in Odense, Denmark,
the son of a shoemaker. Despite the
poverty of his early life he became a
short-story writer, novelist and playwright.
He is best known for his fairy tales, which
were published between 1835 and 1872, and
include ‘The Red Shoes’, ‘The Emperor’s
New Clothes’, ‘The Little Mermaid’ and
‘The Ugly Duckling’.

IN THEIR SHOES: FAIRY TALES AND FOLKTALES
ILLUSTRATED BY LUCIE ARNOUX
The best shoe stories from around the world
“You never really know a man until you
stand in his shoes and walk around in
them” (To Kill a Mockingbird)
Step into the shoes of the world’s
favourite princes and princesses, orphans
and ogres. The footprints of these stories
are visible all around the world—from
Germany to Russia, from America to China.
The golden slipper enables Cinderella to
marry the prince, but the red shoes force a
girl to dance for ever; the worn out dancing
shoes give away the princesses’ secret, but
the Seven League Boots help the children
escape from the ogre.
Shoe, boot, slipper or sandal—footwear
is the foundation of many of the world’s
best-loved folktales.

THE SECRETS OF THE WILD WOOD
TONKE DRAGT, ILLUSTRATED BY THE AUTHOR
The thrilling and long-awaited sequel to The Letter for the King!
“Now that I have discovered those secrets,
will I ever get out of here alive so that I may
tell others what I know?” thought Ristridin.
Strange rumours circulate about the Wild
Wood: tales of robbers and lost cities, of
dangerous knights and mysterious Men in
Green ... and now Sir Ristridin, last seen in
that impenetrable forest, has disappeared.
Tiuri, now a young Knight with a White
Shield, sets out with Piak and Marius to
uncover the Wild Wood’s secrets, only
to find himself caught up in a terrible plan
to seize King Unauwen’s throne – a plan
destined to end in a fierce battle between
Good and Evil, in which no-one can remain
impartial.
Ever willing to risk all perils to fight for
what is right and true, Tiuri gathers his old
friends and sets off to warn King Unauwen
– before it is too late.

TONKE DRAGT was born in 1930 in
Indonesia. When she was twelve, she was
imprisoned in a Japanese camp during the
war, where she wrote her first book using
begged and borrowed paper. After the war,
she and her family moved to the Netherlands, where she became an art teacher.
In 1962 she published her most famous
story, The Letter for the King, which won
the Children’s Book of the Year Award and
has been translated into sixteen languages.
Dragt was awarded the State Prize for Youth
Literature in 1976 and was knighted in 2001.

When Tiuri answers a desperate call for
help, he finds himself on a perilous
mission that could cost him his life. He
must deliver a secret letter to the King
who lives across the Great Mountains – a
letter upon which the future of the entire
realm depends.
It means abandoning his home, breaking
all the rules and leaving everything behind
– even the knighthood he has dreamed of
for so long.
He must trust no one. He must keep his
true identity secret. Above all, he must
never reveal what is in the letter.

DOT AND ANTON
ERICH KÄSTNER , ILLUSTRATED BY WALTER TRIER
The author of Emil and the Detectives strikes again ...
‘Gadzooks!’ said Dot ... ‘The things that boy
can do!’
Dot loves play-acting, dressing up her pet
dachshund Piefke and making up words
like ‘splentastic’. Her best friend is Anton,
who lives in a little apartment and looks
after his mother.
They share a secret – every night, when
their parents think they are asleep, they
sell matches and shoelaces on the streets
of Berlin with Dot’s grumpy governess.
But why?
The answers involve a villain called
‘Robert the Devil’, a club-wielding maid,
a wobbly tooth, a pair of silver shoes and
a policeman dancing the tango, as Dot
and Anton get into all sorts of scrapes
and even solve a crime in this delightful,
touching and hilarious adventure story.

ERICH KÄSTNER began his career as a
journalist and, later, a freelance theatre
critic. In 1929 he published his first book for
children, Emil and the Detectives, which has
since been translated into 60 languages and
sold millions of copies around the world.
He then went on to publish Dot and Anton
in 1931 and The Flying Classroom in 1933.
After the Nazis took power in Germany,
Kästner’s books – thinly veiled critiques of
society’s fall to fascism – were denounced
and burnt. He faced repeated arrest and
interrogation by the Gestapo, resulting in
his blacklisting and exclusion from the
writers’ guild. He won many awards, including the Hans Christian Andersen Award in
1960. One of the best loved and most read
children’s authors around the world,
Kästner died in Munich in 1974.
WALTER TRIER was introduced to Kästner
in Berlin in 1927. He had begun his career
drawing cartoons for the Berliner Illustrated
and contributing to the satirical weekly
Simplicissimus. During the 1920s he ridiculed Hitler and the Nazi Party in a series
of cartoons, and continued to do so until
1933, despite great personal risk and
threats made against him. In 1936 he was
forced to flee to London, where he
produced anti-Nazi leaflets and political
propaganda drawings. He died in 1951 in
Ontario, Canada.

FUZZ MCFLOPS
EVA FURNARI, ILLUSTRATED BY THE AUTHOR
A brilliant bunny author finds a cure for the blues
Fuzz McFlops is one of the most famous
rabbit-writers in the land, but ever since
his classmates teased him about his lopsided ears at school he’s led a lonely life,
writing sad stories such as The Withered
Carrot. Now he’s started receiving some
scandalous, outrageous and rather eyecatching letters from one of his fans. Who
is she? And why does Fuzz’s funny, tooshort ear start twitching every time he
replies to her shocking notes?
As their correspondence continues, Fuzz
McFlops begins to wonder where this tale
is heading, and whether he might not discover a happy ending for once, after all ...
EVA FURNARI was born in Rome in 1948,
but her family moved to Brazil when she
was 2 years old. She started out as a writer
in 1980 and has since published more than
60 books for children. She has won numerous awards throughout her long career.
Fuzz McFlops sold 200,000 copies in Brazil,
and is the first of Eva’s books to be translated into English.

MEET AT THE ARK AT EIGHT!
ULRICH HUB, ILLUSTRATED BY JÖRG MÜHLE
A hilarious and sweetly philosophical twist on a classic tale
Snow and ice and ice and snow all around,
and nothing for three penguins to do but
fight with each other and smell slightly of
fish. But are they good penguins or bad
penguins? And if they’re a bit bad then
what’s the worst that ...
What? Building an ark? The whole world
is going to be flooded?
Well! They should probably get on that
ark.
Meet at the Ark at Eight! is a delight:
a funny, odd and strangely moral story
of three penguins, a plump, over-worked
dove, a beautiful butterfly that may or may
not get done in, and a quite apologetic God.
ULRICH HUB is a German writer, actor,
director and screenwriter. He has written
several plays for children as well as for
adults. Meet at the Ark at Eight! is his first
book, and has won prizes in Germany,
France, The Netherlands and Italy. Ulrich
lives in Berlin.

FROM THE MIXED-UP FILES OF
MRS. BASIL E. FRANKWEILER
E.L. KONIGSBURG, ILLUSTRATED BY THE AUTHOR
The million-selling classic novel—finally available again in the UK!
New York City girl Claudia, a mere month
shy of being a twelve-year-old, has
resolved to run away from home with her
younger brother, Jamie. She knows that
she could never pull off the classic spurof-the-moment departure without a
destination (inevitably involving having
to eat outside with the insects, and cupcakes melting in the sun); so she plans
everything to perfection, including their
destination: the grand, elegant, beautiful,
all-encompassing Metropolitan Museum
of Art.
However, no sooner have Claudia and
Jamie settled into their new home, than
they are caught up in the mystery of an
angel statue bought by the museum for
the bargain price of $225. Is it in fact an as
yet undiscovered work by Michelangelo,
worth millions? Claudia is determined to
find out, and her quest leads her to the
12
remarkable, secretive Mrs. Frankweiler,
who sold the statue to the museum – and
to some equally remarkable discoveries
about herself.
E. L. KONIGSBURG (1930–2013) is one of
the most celebrated writers of books for
children and young adults. She is the only
author to have won the Newbery Medal
and Newbery Honor in the same year –
a feat she achieved in 1968, for From the
Mixed-up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler
and Jennifer, Hecate, Macbeth, William
McKinley, and Me, Elizabeth, respectively.
Not only that, but she won the Newbery
Medal again almost thirty years later.

THE SECRET OF THE BLUE GLASS
TOMIKO INUI
A magical miniature family’s adventures in wartime Japan
In a dusty library, in the quietest corner
of a house in a Tokyo suburb, live the Little
People: Fern and Balbo, Robin and Iris. Just
a few inches high, sleeping in cigarette
boxes and crafting shoes from old book
jackets, they need only one thing from
their Humans – a nightly glass of milk,
served in a sparkling Blue Glass goblet,
by a trusted young member of the Human
family.
But when the Second World War comes
to Japan, bringing a dangerous new kind of
patriotism, both Humans and their beloved
Little People face a world they could never
before have imagined. It will take great
love, bravery, and a rather loyal pigeon, to
bring their unique families back together
once more ...
TOMIKO INUI was born in Tokyo in 1924,
and joined a publishing house in 1950.
She began working as an editor, as well
as writing books for children. She was
runner-up in 1964 for the Hans Christian
Andersen prize. The Secret of the Blue Glass
is the first of her books to be translated
into English. She died in 2002.

ANNA STAROBINETS, ILLUSTRATED BY ANDRZEJ KLIMOWSKI
A thrilling, funny story about a heroic cat on a mission
As everyone knows, cats are descended
from the prehistoric, beautiful, mighty
Catlanteans. They had magical powers,
and they lived their wonderful nine lives
on the legendary island of Catlantis. Until,
one day, cataclysm and catastrophe caused
it to sink into the ocean and disappear

the cats in the world. But will the beastly
black cat Noir succeed in foiling Baguette’s
carefully laid plans? Will Baguette return
safely from his travels back in time to
Catlantis? Will he ever get to marry
Purriana, the love of his life?
ANNA STAROBINETS is an acclaimed,
award-winning Russian novelist, children’s

THE WHALE THAT FELL IN LOVE WITH A SUBMARINE
AKIYUKI NOSAKA , ILLUSTRATED BY MIKA PROVATA-CARLONE
Striking and eloquent stories that tell of the absurd violence of war
‘When the whale was little his mother had
taught him that, if he ever saw a ship, he
had to quickly dive into the depths ... Even
if the ship was smaller than him, aboard
there was an extremely cruel type of
animal called a human.’
A lonely whale searching the oceans for a
mate sacrifices himself for love; a mother
desperately tries to save her son with her
tears; an old she-wolf rescues a little girl
abandoned in the grass; a huge, magnificent
tree grows amid the ruins of a burnt-out
town, its branches made from the sweetest
cake imaginable.
These moving, unforgettable stories of
unlikely friendships, secret hiding places,
extraordinary bravery and miraculous
transformations show war through the
eyes of a child. Profound, heartbreaking
and aglow with a piercing beauty, they
express the chaos and terror of conflict,
yet also how love can illuminate even the
darkest moment.
AKIYUKI NOSAKA lost his mother at birth
and was put into care by his father. His
adoptive parents died in the American
bombing of Kobe. Aged only fourteen,
Nosaka was left orphaned and alone in
war-ravaged Japan.
Nosaka has written nearly 100 books.
Grave of the Fireflies – largely autobiographical – was awarded the Naoki Literary
prize in 1967 and turned into an internationally acclaimed animated film. Nosaka is a
celebrity in Japan today, as a writer, a TV
personality, a comedian, a singer and even
a politician.
