In this, her third collection of poetry for children, Carol Ann Duffy brings a contagious, whirling energy to all she surveys. Whether it's the heroes of rock 'n' roll, stray giantesses and queens, the husband of the Lock Ness monster, or a girl that falls into a jam jar; with secrets and spells, songs of unrequited love, confessions and pleas, she envelops them all in an irresistible dance of rhythm and rhyme. Rock n roll and poetry collide in a book that every good - and yes, all right! - every bad child deserves.

This well-known and well-loved fantasy adventure was written by Noel Langley, the screenwriter for The Wizard of Oz, and contains original Edward Ardizzone illustrations throughout. The Land of Green Ginger is the story of Prince Abu Ali, the son of the Emperor Aladdin of China. When Abu Ali is born, the Genie of the Lamp announces that his destiny has already been foretold; he was the one chosen to break the spell of the Land of Green Ginger and restore the Magician - turned into a Button-Nosed Tortoise by a spell that went wrong - to his normal shape. You'll find magical fantasy, adventure and excitement within the pages of this book - but most of all, you'll find ridiculous wit and humour to appeal to all age groups (whether child or adult).
