Mrs Hardcastle was fast asleep. And Tilly Mint was bored. When Tilly’s mum goes out to work, Mrs Hardcastle from up the street pops in to look after her.

There are two special things about Mrs Hardcastle. The first thing is that she’s always dropping off to sleep (she snores too, sometimes). The second special thing is that whenever she goes to sleep, something magic always seems to happen to Tilly Mint!

Carnegie Medal winner Berlie Doherty’s enchanting Tilly Mint Tales are at last available in one complete collection with brand-new illustrations from Tony Ross.
