The Little Blue Boat And The Secret Of The Broads- Phil Johnson
RRP £7.99
Phil Johnson will be well known to many, having worked in local radio and TV for a number of years, but this is his first venture into fiction. The setting is largely that of the Norfolk Broads he loves and the story will give children (it's recommended for 6-11 year olds) insights into the place and, incidentally, into the importance of water safety. This is a magical story and, as TV presenter Nick Crane says, 'If you love the outdoors, animals and a cracking good story, this is for you.' Jarrolds has copies of the book signed by the author, while stocks last - not to mention a limited supply of Able Sea Bear, the teddy featured in the book.
