Otter Moon cover

Flibberty is a young otter who spends his nights dreaming and staring at the moon instead of catching fish. But one day, the King of the River sets him a seemingly impossible task: to serve him a great fish on a silver dish before daybreak. As the moon rises over the river, Flibberty sets off downstream on a journey that will take him far from home. But will he manage to fulfil the king's wishes before dawn?

'A hauntingly magical fantasy.' Northern Echo 'Humphries's lyrical prose, festooned with internal rhymes and wordplay, is perfectly matched to his beautiful dusky watercolors. They shine with a silvery light, investing the adventure with a suitably majestic magic. First rate.' Kirkus Reviews A jewel of a book. Carousel Whimsical yet lyrical, it is a lovely exploration of the riverbank and perfect for those who love a bucolic tale. Bookseller
