Willy's Stories

Anthony Browne offers a glimpse at ten classic tales with the help of a library-loving chimp.

Every week, Willy walks through an ordinary-looking set of doors and straight into an adventure. Where will those doors lead him today to a mysterious desert island with footprints in the sand? Down a deep, dark rabbit hole full of curious objects? Or perhaps aboard a pirate ship to stand face-to-face with Captain Hook? This book revisits well-known stories from:
Robinson Crusoe
Treasure Island
Robin Hood
The Tinderbox
Peter Pan
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland
The Wonderful Wizard of Oz
Rapunzel
The Wind in the Willows
The Adventures of Pinocchio
Anthony Browne s captivating illustrations, starring his trademark primates, pay tribute to the library and the wonders within.
