More Arabel and Mortimer Joan Aiken Puffin

Arabel and her notorious pet raven Mortimer make a welcome return to Penguin Random House Children\'s BooksWhen Arabel\'s father, Ebenezer Jones, drives his taxi home late one night he comes across \'a large black bird, with a hairy fringe around its beak.\' He takes it home and, from that moment on, life is never the same again for the Jones family. Arabel\'s raven is called Mortimer - and he\'s one in a million. \'Nevermore!\' he cries when astonished or upset, \'Down the hatch\' he thinks before gobbling bowler hats, stairs, telephones. He dislikes flying except in emergencies, and with disaster-prone Mortimer around there are plenty of those. There are 7 hilarious escapades in this collection, brought to life by Quentin Blake\'s wonderfully animated illustrations: THE MYSTERY OF MR JONES\'S DISAPPEARING TAXI; MORTIMER\'S PORTRAIT ON GLASS; MORTIMER\'S CROSS; MORTIMER SAYS NOTHING; A CALL FROM THE JONESES; MR JONES\'S REST CURE and ARABEL\'S BIRTHDAY.
