'Quirky, surreal, imaginative and unpredictable fairy tales for grown-ups - I enjoyed their humour and humanity.' - David Wood

'Delightfully entertaining - and not just for adults.' - Hanna Dahl

'This is my schnoodle bag, ' said Aziz.

'Keep it with you and you'll never want for stories.'

- and I never have, as you'll discover in this collection of 16 of them in which anyone and anything can have a voice: from a social-climbing sock and a shadow thief to a lovesick umbrella and a gold-lusting king. As for what happens in their stories and in the other dozen you'll be surprised. I know I was.
