I was so thrilled when the book arrived. I have been hunting for a copy for a few years, and was so pleased to be able to finally get my hands on a copy. It's an older copy but it feels so comfortable in my hands. Thank you for sending me my book!

What a pleasure to read this after being told so much about it by a class of grade 8 students. It came alive for me because I have recently travelled in Cumbria. A great adventure story....not just for kids. Now I want to read his other books.
