Edie and the Box of Flits

Author(s): Kate Wilkinson, Joe Berger (Illustrator)

Location(s): London

Genre(s): Children

Era(s): Contemporary

A modern classic for readers of THE BORROWERS – about eleven-year-old Edie Winter and her magical box of winged people that only children can see.

When eleven-year-old Edie Winter finds a mysterious box on the London Underground she’s amazed to discover that it’s home to a family of Flits – tiny winged people. But Impy, Speckle and Nid need Edie’s help. Not only do they need supplies (rice crispies, sugar sprinkles, digestive biscuits and raisins) and someone to look after them, but their brother Jot has run away and they need Edie’s help to find him.

Set against the backdrop of London and its Underground network, EDIE AND THE BOX OF FLITS is a story about friendship, family and noticing the little things in life.

With delightful black-and-white illustrations by animator, cartoonist and illustrator Joe Berger.

Kate Wilkinson’s Favourite London Children’s Books!
