Margaret Mahy's magic-filled story There's A King in the Cupboard is a wonderous picture book with illustrations from the Margaret Mahy Illustration Prize Winner Minrui Yang.
A family had once moved into a different house.
It was just a small family - a mum, a dad, and a little girl called Sarah.
Well, this house was not exactly new - in fact it was one of those big old houses full of space and echoes.
Come and explore this new home with Sarah and discover a mysterious cupboard that is holding a very magical secret!
From celebrated children's writer Margaret Mahy and the winner of the 2021 Margaret Mahy Illustration Prize, Minrui Yang, comes a magical story of imagination and discovery, published as a picture book for the very first time.
