What to expect
From bestselling author of Peace at Last, Jill Murphy, this is an imaginative tale of a little girl and who she meets On the Way Home. Brought to life by Anna Maxwell Martin.
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?!
On the Way Home is a fantastic journey of the imagination that every small child who tells the occasional tall tale will relate to! A bestselling classic that has been delighting readers for forty years.
