魔力雪橇

Foxwood Tales

by 辛西亞·派特森

　　聖誕節即將來臨，魯魯兔、哈維鼠、威利刺蝟約了好朋友傑若米和凱蒂，去聖誕公園挑選聖誕樹。 在靠近聖誕公園的池塘邊，大夥發現結凍的水面上有件不尋常的東西－－那是一輛裝飾的華麗熱鬧的雪橇。

　　當大家好奇的坐上金色雪橇時，更驚人的事情發生了！雪橇竟然自動飛了起來，帶著魯魯、哈威、威利、傑若米和凱蒂，飛躍山谷、高山，朝遙遠的天邊遠去。雪橇到底要飛到哪裡去呢？

作/繪者簡介
　　布萊恩．彼得森早在蘇格蘭讀小學的時候，就開始繪畫和創造故事人物。多年以後，他卓越的繪畫搭配妻子創作的故事中，顯得更加耀眼。
　　布萊恩的妻子辛西亞創作的故事，是根據她自己在索美塞特鄉下的童年生活加以編寫。他們一同創造出來精采絕倫的狐狸村系列繪本，風靡了世界各地的兒童。
　　布萊恩和妻子現在和他們的三個小孩－威廉、查理士和亨利－住在家鄉英格蘭南部牛津郡的美麗泰晤士河谷。家鄉的清澈小溪、隨風搖曳的柳樹、豐富的大自然生活，是他們創造奇特冒險故事的絕佳場所，再加上與孩子們之間的互動，更是夫妻倆的源源不絕靈感的最大動力。

5 stars. I bought this for my children many years ago for bedtime storytime during the run up to Christmas. Beautifully illustrated and a lovely story, pure and simple as it should be. I read it again yesterday and really enjoyed it. Just to sit and look at detailed pictures takes your mind off other things.

The Magic Sleigh and The Secret Valley were later publications in the Foxwood Tales

The other six books were childhood favourites, that I read frequently and whose art I compared all future picture books to. This one and The Secret Valley are weak compared to their older siblings.

The art is still incredibly beautiful, like always.

Beautifully illustrated book. The story is for older elementary readers.
