Interest Age 8-12  |  In a nutshell: true hearts and heroines in Victorian London  |   Inspired by an artefact at the Hunterian Museum Georgia Byng tells a story about a young girl born with no nose, that will inspire readers to be proud of who they are, no matter what they believe their imperfections to be. It also teaches that being kind and generous, and accepting of other people, leads to happiness. Ashamed of her appearance Alice hides from the world, living a lonely life until her friend Daisy shows her another way. Daisy is bad at spelling but ignores it, ‘becus I am so cleva in so menny other ways’. When Alice starts to make friends with others, people willing to accept her the way she is, her life changes. The story is simply but beautifully told, and illustrations by award-winner Gary Blythe make this little book very special. ~ Andrea Reece

The story was inspired by a Victorian prosthetic nose at the Hunterian Museum in London. Georgia Byng says, “When I was thinking about Alice’s story, I was thinking about the woman with her false nose … And I hope this woman’s real life, one where she came to terms with her no-noseness, will inspire the people who read The Girl With No Nose to be proud of who they are, no matter what their imperfections are.”

The Conkers imprint has quickly and successfully established itself: offering the very best authors and illustrators, all heavily illustrated throughout, in a range of gorgeous formats.

High quality cream paper and a special easy to read font ensure a smooth read for all.
