Bears Of England published 2nd July 2009

Quite possibly Jackson's strangest creation, Bears of England catalogues some of the darker and most disturbing chapters of bear history.

Sin-eating bears, deep sea diving bears, high-wire bears, bears locked in Victorian sewers, not to mention all manner of bear break-out and tales of bears on the run, what begins as an apparently disparate collection slowly builds towards a haunting finale.

Not for the squeamish or faint-hearted. Beautifully illustrated throughout by David Roberts, who previously collaborated with Jackson on Ten Sorry Tales.

Ten Sorry Tales

A collection of dark tales, beautifully illustrated by David Roberts - a book of bones and stones, of vengeful hermits and wayward hearses, of junior Rip Van Winkles and resurrectionists...

'A unique mixture of pathos, humour and cruelty, delightfully disturbing for an adult or a child' Times Educational Supplement
Five Boys

Strange goings-on in an idyllic English village, including ships in bottles, boys in rabbit hutches and pigs in coffins.

'A work of startling originality' Times Literary Supplement
The Underground Man

The story of an eccentric Victorian aristocrat who creates a network of tunnels beneath his country estate.

'Quite simply, astonishing' The Observer
