Paintings of strange magical creatures by Sushila Burgess. Bird people flit through the pages of this book. They are mostly... More > birds with human heads: the chaffinch family, giggling and wriggling in their nest while the father stands proudly with his rose-red chest; little green bee-eaters of Upper Egypt; blackbird; bluetits; peacock king and peahen. Also to be found in these pages are mermaids, fairies, a sphinx, and a wine-drinking octopus in a golden summerhouse above the waves. < Less

Elephants, peacocks, deer and swans, women in embroidered red-and-gold saris, unicorns, mermaids and dragons inhabit this... More > dream-like world: a magic country painted on ceramic tiles by Sushila Burgess. < Less

Jasmine meets a unicorn hiding in her horrible great-aunt's garden, and soon she is on a mission to help her unicorn friend:... More > a mission involving ghosts, witches, mermaids, a rather annoying fairy assistant and a horribly hungry dragon.

Exciting, magical and hilarious, this book will appeal to parents who read their child a bedtime story as well as to children who have started reading 'chapter books' for themselves. The real Jasmine (now aged 9) says 'Jasmine's Unicorn is FUNNY! It would really appeal to Year Two girls.' Her teacher and teaching assistant both said: 'It's a LOVELY book!' < Less

Paintings by Sushila Burgess of a jewel-bright country inhabited by magic monsters, blue and yellow elephants, peacocks,... More > deer, swans and women in scarlet saris with enigmatic smiles. Birds with human heads flit through this dream-like world: the chaffinch family, giggling and wriggling in their nest while the father stands proudly with his rose-red chest; little green bee-eaters of Upper Egypt; bluetits swooping down on the peanut feeder like pilots in azure goggles; smarmy peacock king and grumpy peahen. Also to be found in these pages are mermaids, fairies, a sphinx, and a wine-drinking octopus in a golden summerhouse above the waves. Artwork from 1997 to February 2011 in gouache on paper and porcelain paint on ceramic tiles. < Less
