Charlotte lives in a big house with lots of toys. Most little girls would be happy with so many toys, but not Charlotte! She wants to play with real friends and have real adventures. And on one dark and stormy day, Charlotte pops up - literally - in Tim and Ginger's maritime world. Her adventures - and a veritable sea of delightful troubles - are just beginning. The Little Tim books have been cherished by readers young and old for their spirited adventures told by a storyteller who speaks straight to children's imaginations, and for their indelible portrait of life in a sleepy English coastal community.
The combination of exciting action, vivid characters and fabulously detailed illustrations still make the Little Tim series enthralling. - The Ultimate First Book Guide
"I was completely obsessed by this book, even before I could read, so I would follow my mother around, holding it in my hand, saying, 'Read, read' like a maniac; as soon as she'd finished she would have to read it again." Jane Fallon - Easy Living
