More from a wonderful new talent in children's illustrated books. Courtney the Hedgehog has already established himself as an intrepid traveller alongside his friend and companion, Humphrey Mole. In this new book, he continues to travel onwards down to the last known home of Wilfred the Water Rat Ferry Captain of legendary fame. Wilfred was a hero for Courtney after Silus, his brother, told exciting stories of his derring-do when Courtney was a youngster. Dangers abounded on the journey south. New friends were established who helped the travellers to finally overcome serious obstacles. Flooding became both a major threat, as well as wonderful saviour, allowing the friends to convince Wilfred to leave the area and go home to see his brother. The ferry needed to go with them. How was this going to work?
Autorenporträt
A retired 70-year-old author who started his first book, The Adventures of Courtney the Hedgehog, some 40 years ago when his son was five or six as a story that could be read to him at bedtime. The book slowly grew over time but was finally put away once his son had left home. It was rediscovered by his grandchildren recently and they loved it and encouraged publication. The story needed two books to complete it properly and after some further work, the second part was ready for publication. There is still more of the story to tell about Courtney and his friends, so future books are under consideration.
