WINNER OF THE LITERARY TITAN GOLD BOOK AWARD. A hot air balloon, a remarkable discovery and two very determined cat detectives.
The Call From The Lake District is the fourth book in the Fang, Bang and the Midnight Mouse series, a funny cat detective adventure story for children aged 4 to 8 who love clever animals, wild places and true stories hidden inside made up ones.
THE ADVENTURE BEGINS
When the telephone rings at Lane End Farm, cat detectives Fang & Bang set off for the Lake District in the most dramatic way imaginable, casually flying in by hot air balloon. They land at Hill Top Farm, where Suki Kitten and a fireside full of new friends are waiting. The Midnight Mouse, of course, is already one step ahead.
But this adventure is bigger than a missing cheese. Hill Top Farm was once home to Beatrix Potter. Most of us know her for Peter Rabbit, but she was also a pioneering conservationist who protected the Lake District fells, a skilled scientific illustrator and a lady farmer so ahead of her time, all in an age when women were told to keep their ideas to themselves. As Fang & Bang explore the rolling fells and dry stone walls, they discover that some stories are even bigger than the ones you set out to tell.
