Winnie-the-Pooh meets The Boy, The Mole, The Fox and the Horse in this charming, emotionally touching children's fable from award-winning author Jeremy Strong, highly illustrated in black and blue colour printing and launched in a beautiful, covetable hardback.
An extraordinary house on wheels is being towed along a forest track by doleful Moose. On board the house are philosophical Fox; distinguished Bear; theatrical Toucan, with his magnetic beak that always points north; argumentative Little Owl, and loving, excitable Young Llama.
With nothing but her little blue suitcase, Fox has left home to join the animals' expedition to the Snowlands to see the Northern Lights. They encounter many ups and downs on their journey, but it is beneath the magic of the Lights that they must face their most heart-wrenching loss...
By turns funny, thoughtful and heartfelt, this is a story about the importance of art, music, books, shortbread biscuits and, ultimately, saying goodbye to the ones we love.
"A story about love, life, friendship and loss ... it is wonderful" - The I
"Enchanting" - Telegraph
"An old fashioned, all-ages classic" - Observer
"Funny, sweet story ... that tugs at the heartstrings. A classy last act." - Daily Mail
Jeremy Strong (1949-2024) was born in Eltham, South East London in November 1949. He has had a varied career path before becoming an author including jobs as a: Head Teacher, Caretaker, Strawberry Picker, Jam Doughnut Stuffer! His first published book was Smith's Tail in 1978.
Jeremy’s work is characterised by humour and direct child appeal. The books are packed with tongue in cheek gags and characters and situations that your children will love. He said of himself "My sense of humour got stuck at age ten." He has said his writing was influenced most of all by Spike Milligan, but also by falling on his head when he was three years old.
When he was about eighteen he started writing very serious stories for adults, but none of them were published. By the time he was twenty-one he was writing stories for children after realizing that he loved writing funny stories and making people laugh.
