We’ve put together a list of unforgettable characters, moving stories, and beautifully illustrated books to help you reconnect with the classics. If you haven’t read any of the stories below, Christmas is the perfect time to create new happy memories with these beloved books. As all Puffins know, a good book has the power to stay with you forever.
Books are a perfect place to find a best mate. Whether you’re looking for a friend to round out your show-stopping musical act, a sidekick to help you get through your first love and the scary school dance, or simply a buddy to see you through the everyday, our list of books about BFFs has something for everyone. You never know where you’ll find your next partner-in-crime, so why not bury yourself in the pages of these tales about friendship? With a book by your side, you’re always in good company.
We hope you’re hungry because this month’s Puffin Podcast is a veritable smorgasbord of literary soundbites. Host Ally McCrae is joined in the studio by Douglas Hodge (Willy Wonka in the WestEnd), Jacqueline Wilson and the foley artists of Pinewood studios, who are all talking about tucker – and some of our favourite authors share their brain food too! Plus there are audiobook extracts from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Steven Butler’s The Wrong Pong and The Enormous Crocodile (read by Stephen Fry). Oh, and don’t miss the live report from the Wonderland Courthouse and a mammoth food fight between two Puffin eggheads. Digest at your leisure.
