On the Way Home

On the Way Home is a fantastic journey of the imagination that every child who tells the occasional tall tale will relate to!

Claire has hurt her knee so she sets off home to tell her mum all about it. On the way she meets her friends and tells them how the fall happened. But just how did it happen . . .? Was she dropped by a wolf, a slithering snake, an enormous dragon or a hairy gorilla?!

Filled with a little girl's inventive stories, On the Way Home is by Jill Murphy, the author and illustrator of the bestselling Peace at Last and Whatever Next!

Jill Murphy's books sell in their hundreds of thousands. She is perhaps best known for her classic Worst Witch stories which she started writing when she was fifteen but she is also a hugely successful picture book author and illustrator. Peace at Last was her first picture book for Macmillan and was commended for the Kate Greenaway Medal. She went on to win the Smarties Prize for The Last Noo-Noo. She is also the author of the classic picture book Whatever Next! Jill lives in Cornwall with her son.
