In a quiet Sussex Village live a curious group of humans and animal friends.In the first book of the Captain Cecil Crump & His Brilliant Friends, series of stories, the marvellously eccentric Captain Cecil Crump (Formerly of the Kings African Rifles) discovered that the local animals were able to communicate with humans. After all, he learned, that just because animals don’t talk it does not necessarily mean they can’t talk!Having befriended a group of them, they offered to help him ring the church bells for an important wedding, in return for some delicious treats of course!In this story, one of those same animals, a gorgeous and friendly rabbit called Charlie Cement, receives a rather unexpected letter from his Cousin Saleese Silosse who, having left the village years before along with another Cousin named Sidley Kidley, joined a very special rabbit theatre in London and during her time away, made quite a name for herself.Saleese sends Charlie a ticket for him to attend the opening of an important theatre play in which she is starring in the lead role.Charlie Cement wants to go, indeed he must go but how will he get to London? Even if he can get to London, what will he find there and who might he meet? Captain Cecil Crump soon comes to Charlie’s aid and introduces Charlie to his good friend, Nicolias Sherwin-Chuff who drives a Steam Train. Nicolias agrees to take Charlie to London on his train although Charlie must be prepared to help out along the way as there is important work to be done. Charlie revels in his responsibilities and takes them very seriously.This story tells the tale of Charlie’s journey, his visit to the rabbit theatre and his return home. Prepare to be amazed and enchanted by the many interesting characters that he meets along the way and the incredible things that happen while he is in the City.Indeed, one must prepare upon reading this book, for the simple fact that you might never look at your local animal friends in quite the same way, ever again!

Excerpt from The Adventures of Sir Frizzle Pumpkin, And, Nights at Mess: And Other TalesCan find stories to tell; and, in the next place, how they can find words to tell them. For myself, I am as good as the best of them at an anecdote after dinner; my words come as pat to the purpose as possible but the moment I take my pen into my hand - presto all my power of story-telling is gone. Some word appears twice or thrice in the same sentence, my cha racters become confused, and the personages, whose -wit is sure to create a laugh as I tell the story to my friends at table, are the stupidest fellows I ever met, when I write down their facetious responses in black and white. My opportunities of observation have been as good as those of any officer of my standing, and, as I said before, how the devil it is that they ma nage to tell long stories of two or three volumes, while I can't muster a single page, I can by no means divine. But though I have hitherto failed in my attempts, I have not been altogether discouraged. Perseverance, they say, will conquer in the end; and some of these days, I doubt not, I shall be able to manufacture a warlike tale as well as my neighbours. Besides the honour and reputation, there are other considerations which, it may easily be imagined, would make a suc cessful novel by no means an unpleasant achievement to a captain on half-pay. Plutus, I am sorry to confess, mingles in all my dreams of fame. I envy Colonel.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
