Three spooky tales from three peerless storytellers, perfect for telling around the fire on a dark, windy night. Darkly comical, these will send a delicious shiver down your spine. Read of Flynn, who battled with three skeletons; of Tom, who saw something so weird in the moonlight that it changed his life for ever; and of the terrifying thirteen crows who brought death wherever they went … Each story is illustrated by a different illustrator to create three very different atmospheres.

A selection of newspaper articles about Fearless Flynn give children the opportunity to explore other ways of presenting information and other points of view.
