Richmond Bigbottom

A humorous fairy tale for children aged 5+ and grown-ups who have ever liked stories of princes, princesses and oddball characters. Probably the only story in the world ever in which a pet ferret's devotion and agility helps secure his master's happiness.

With illustrations by the artist Adam De Ville

***
The beautiful town of Richmond on Sea is quiet. But at the Palace all is not well. Princess Polly is not happy with her role in life. Being a royal is not at all to her liking. To make matters worse, the King and Queen think it is time Princess Polly got married. But none of the young aristocrats her parents keep inviting to tea are at all what she desires. They are such a bunch of wasters and wimps. Polly wants a real man to wed.

Then one day, as she is having a rest in a coin laundry, she finds the most peculiar, utterly fascinating object. Epiphany! Princess Polly is inspired. There will be a competition. And the prize? Guess!

This is author Guy Netley's first of a series of Leleo Pekeo books.
