New edition for 2019 A picture story book from the ever-popular Tales from Fern Hollow series of 17 titles, richly illustrated in a detailed, colourful, traditional style, for ages 3-93. Now back in print from the author/illustrator's (John Patience) own imprint, Talewater Press, this edition, published in 2019, contains the same story and illustrations as the original version.One morning Brock Gruffy received a letter from his cousin, Bill. It read:Dear Brock, As you know, I am very fond of sailing. Recently I have acquired a new boat and I thought you might like my old one. You’ll find it on the river, by the old jetty. Happy sailing! Yours, Bill. When Brock saw the boat he was rather disappointed. It was badly in need of repair. But the badger was struck with a wonderful idea. “I’ll turn it into a floating restaurant,” he thought. So, with the help of his old friend Sigmund Swamp, who was very keen to be the waiter on the floating restaurant, Brock set to work. “It’s perfect,” said Sigmund when the repairs were finished. “All we need now are customers!” The charming and gently humorous Fern Hollow animal stories have remained popular since they were first published in 1980.
