Joan AIken, The Serial GardenDebut title: The Serial Garden: The Complete Armitage Family Stories
Joan Aiken

This is the first complete collection of Joan Aiken's beloved Armitage stories — and it includes four new, unpublished stories. Includes Joan Aiken's Prelude, as well as introductions from Joan Aiken's daughter, Lizza Aiken, and best-selling author Garth Nix. Illustrated by Andi Watson.

"Buy it to read to your kids, and you'll find yourself sneaking tastes on the sly; a little Aiken is a fine thing to have in your system at any age."
—Salon.com

"Joan Aiken's invention seemed inexhaustible, her high spirits a blessing, her sheer storytelling zest a phenomenon. She was a literary treasure, and her books will continue to delight for many years to come."
—Philip Pullman
