Product Description

Product Description
Mortimer the Raven is causing yet more chaos and mayhem in Rumbury Town. Things get even worse when Arabel takes Mortimer roller-skating with her three nasty cousins Cindy, Mindy and Lindy. But when Arabel gets very ill and is languishing in hospital it is Mortimer who saves her, though some of the other patients have a difficult time - to say nothing of the staff!

About the Author
Joan Aiken, the daughter of the American poet and writer Conrad Aiken and Jessie Macdonald Aiken (also an author), was an immensely popular and prolific author who wrote almost a hundred novels for adults and children. The creator of the stories about Arabel and her pet raven Mortimer, which have been televised on the BBC, she wrote wonderful, quirky novels, full of humour and the unexpected, about alternative realities. The Wolves of Willoughby Chase won the 1965 Lewis Carroll Shelf Award and was made into a film. Joan Aiken died in 2004.

Quentin Blake is one of the best-known and best-loved illustrators of our time, and his books with a wide range of authors, including Joan Aiken, Russell Hoban, Michael Rosen and Roald Dahl, have been treasured by generations of children throughout the world. In 1999 he became the first Children's Laureate. In 2005 he was awarded a CBE.

5.0 out of 5 stars "Never more" A ravens tale., 21 Nov 2002
By Deborah Cuthbertson (Canvey Island, Essex) - See all my reviews
Not just a childrens book, this is Joan Aitkin at her best.The Bread Bin is an hilarious tale of Arabell and her very unusual pet Raven Mortimer.Who's only words "Never more" never fail to raise a smile. The characters interect supurbly, as this story of every day life at the Jones unfolds. Poor Mortimer is always finding himself in the thick of things leaving the rest of the family to mop up, literally at times, after him.The story builds to an exciting end, where we are delighted with slap stick and touched with heartwarming affection shown only in true friendship.This book will leave you with only one dilema; how to track down the rest in the series. Happy hunting!
