"A MAGICAL TALE OF ONE MISCHIEVOUS OTTER BURSTING WITH CHARM, WIT AND WONDER" ― HANNAH GOLD
“Believe me, my young friend, there is NOTHING – absolutely nothing half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats"
There is a time in a young otter’s life when they must be introduced to their river. For Portly, today was that day …
Told across four seasons in one year, little Portly has the greatest of adventures. Amongth other fur-raising encounters, the youngest of Mrs Otter’s pups learns to swim, battles a large trout, rescues a human girl, outwits the weasels and stoats of the Wild Wood and sleeps between the cloven feet of the god Pan – a scene familiar to readers of the original book.
Full of all the charm, nostalgia and sounds of splashing in the river that fans of The Wind in the Willows have fallen in love with over the years, M.G.Leonard’s faithful spin-off will enchant an entirely new generation.
Beautifully illustrated in full-colour by award-winning illustrator of The Hug, Polly Dunbar, this gorgeous hardback gift book celebrates the 95th anniversary of EH Shepard’s iconic artwork for TheWind in the Willows.
The perfect Easter gift for both new readers and existing fans – young and old!
