All 200 limited edition prints are now reserved but we are still taking pre-orders for signed copies. Books will be signed by Julia and posted out after 10th September 2026. We do not know at this point whether Julia will have time to add name dedications or whether we will have an 'in person' public signing event. Add the child's name for dedication in the ORDER NOTES box if you hope to receive a name dedication.
All was quiet in the deep dark wood, until . . .10th September 2026!
Get your claws on this brand new Gruffalo story first - we are now taking pre-orders for SIGNED copies of the brand new Gruffalo picture book from Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler.
We don't even have the official blurb yet but all we know is... This fresh and exciting new Gruffalo adventure features the return of much-loved characters and is destined to become a classic.
Julia Donaldson said “I really hope that children – and adults too – will enjoy the new story, as I know what a wonderful experience shared reading can be. I was delighted when Axel came on board, and am even more so now that I’ve seen the brilliant sketches he’s already done for the new book.”
Axel Scheffler said “One day out of the blue there came a wonderfully clever and inspired new text by Julia. How does she do this? Could I decline? Of course not! As I have had to draw the odd Gruffalo and his daughter over the last 20 years, I’m not completely out of practice.”
