Time Sailors by Whybrow Ian
Ten-year-old Edward finds his visits to Grandad Wilson's house a bit of a trial - especially when Great Aunt Spud is there fussing away. She's there today, and Grandad Wilson is being as rude and awkward as ever - refusing to let her dust his silver pocket watch or the fading brown photo which Edward loves. It shows two boys - Grandad Wilson and his friend Futter - by a river with an oar and an old-fashioned pram. But it's the cloth cap, floating in the air between them, that intrigues Edward. What's it doing there? Who does it belong to? Now, at last, the mystery is about to be solved, as Grandad Wilson takes Edward on a magical and entertaining trip back in time to 1919 and the day the picture was taken! Ian Whybrow is best known for his stories about Sniff the dog on BBC radio. He has also written "Quacky Quack-Quack" illustrated by Russell Ayto, which was shortlisted for the 1991 Smarties Book Prize, and "Holly and the Skyboard". A highly entertaining time-travel story that gives a fascinating glimpse into childhood in 1919; Grandad Wilson is a memorable character; Ian Whybrow's other titles include the very popular books about a dog called Sniff.| SKU | Unavailable |
