Synopsis

It is night, and I have lit the first of seven candles to write my story by. My name is Coriander Hobie, and I have a great many things to tell–of silver shoes that tempted me and an alligator most rare; of London, the home of my childhood, and another, stranger land, one that I thought only existed in dreams; and of an ebony box whose treasure only now am I beginning to understand. The box was once my mother’s, but its secrets were meant for me.
This being my story and a fairy tale besides, I will start once upon a time . . .

About The Author

Sally Gardner's first career was as a theater designer, but when she had children she decided to try something new. "Books are just like the theater," she says.

She has written and illustrated a number of picture books and early chapter books, often about fairies and other magical subjects.
