Quentin Blake

The first in the series of hilarious adventures with Arabel and the raven Mortimer.

When Billy Dexter is challenged to grow antlers he doesn't imagine he will actually be able to do it - a charming, humorous story about the power of the mind and daring to be different.

Has Mortimer found King Arthur's Round Table and Sword Excalibur?

Mortimer is determined to sleep in the bread bin. Mrs Jones is determined he won't!

Giraffe thieves are about! Arabel and her raven have to act fast!

Unimaginably rich, invariably swathed in a magnificent purple dressing-gown, Uncle oversees a vast ramshackle castle full of friendly kooks while struggling to fend off the sneak attacks of the incorrigible Badfort Crowd.

Uncle will need all the help he can get from his faithful assistant Old Monkey and from Goodman the literate cat-and possibly a wizard's spell-to get through the mess created from the celebrations of their triumph over Badfort.

Frank is back amongst the ruins of the past in this very funny sequel.
