I WAS A RAT OR THE SCARLET SLIPPER

A magical tale from the highly acclaimed author, Philip Pullman. Standing in the moonlight was a little boy in a page’s uniform . . . ‘Bless my soul’! said Bob. ‘Who are you?’ When a small boy turns up on the doorstep of old Bob the cobbler and Joan the washerwoman, all he can tell them is ‘I was a rat!’. But who is he really, and where has he come from? A wonderful, funny, surprising and sharply-observed re-telling of Cinderella.
