They say, where the waves beat the caves on the beach,
you might spot a den, hidden far out of reach...
Everyone's heard of the Grim. They say it has terrifying talons and fiendish fangs. They say it likes to eat children up in one grizzly bite.
But when, one fateful night, a child finally meets the Grim, they realise that not everything is as it seems...
An epic tale with an unexpected ending from incredible picture-talent Rachel Morrisroe, with gorgeously detailed illustrations from Richard Merritt.
