It then travels throughout a city, being loved again and again by many little girls along the way.There’s quite a transformation with the hat, when it changes colour quite noticeably as the story unfolds. Your child will experience the emotional ups and downs, as this journey progresses. There is a most shocking re-location of the hat and in the end, it makes a little girl very happy, in a far away land!

It is summer, it is the Edinburgh Festival. People queuing for a lunchtime show witness a road-rage incident--a near-homicidal attack which changes the lives of everyone involved: the wife of an unscrupulous property developer, a crime writer, a washed-up comedian. Jackson Brodie, ex-army, ex-police, ex-private detective, is also an innocent bystander--until he becomes a murder suspect.
