The Sandman and the Turtles is one of the most charming summer reads for children from Britain’s best-loved children’s author, Michael Morpurgo.

Michael loves summer holidays in Wales, and Dadci’s tall stories about the Sandman, the old Russian sea captain and blood-red dragon in his lair. Little cousin Polly believes every word of the magical tales and she’s determined to make it all come true.

Former Children’s Laureate and award-winning author of War Horse, Michael Morpurgo, again demonstrates why he is considered to be the master story teller with this much-loved magical tale about two children holidaying on the Welsh coast.
