Product description

Eva at her very best (we miss her like crazy). Two tales of dogs, Yetis and great journeys. When Eva Ibbotson died in 2010, we sobbed into our biggest hankies for weeks. No one can ever replace her. She knew exactly what we liked. Grand adventures, long-lost princes, sweet romances and ghostly capers. She never wrote a thing that came out wrong. Now here are her two final books in a fantastic bind-up. Your chance to complete your Eva collection – or start one in reverse! Head to the snowy mountains of Tibet for a Yeti mission. Then adopt all the dogs you ever wanted!

Two brilliant stories in one amazing flip book

By Smarties Gold Award winner Eva Ibbotson

The Abominables was a Guardian Prize finalist

With delightful illustrations by Sharon Rentta

Eva Ibbotson

Eva Ibbotson is the award-winning author of many books for children and adults. She has a daughter and three sons, who showed her that children like to read about ghosts, wizards, and witches “because they are just like people but madder and more interesting.”

She was born in Vienna, in Austria, but moved to England with her family when the Nazis came to power. After training to be a physiologist which she didn’t enjoy because she didn’t like doing experiments on animals, Eva got married and had four very nice children.

Her first children’s book, The Great Ghost Rescue was published in 1975, and she is best known for titles like Journey to the River Sea and The Dragonfly Pool. Eva died in 2010, aged 85.
