Books with title Bill and the Mary Ann Shaughnessy

Setting off on holiday aboard a borrowed cabin cruiser, The Mary Ann Shaughnessy, the brothers Jonathan and Malcolm Crawford and their friend Joe argue in vain against taking the family’s battle-scarred and troublesome bull terrier with them. Bill, due in court soon over an unfortunate ‘misunderstanding’ with the postman, is sure to cause them problems.But the boys are very glad to have Bill on board when they sail right into an adventure – one in which their very lives are to depend on the plucky dog’s courage and spirit.
