John Patience
Brock the Balloonist
A picture book from the ever-popular Tales from Fern Hollow series of 17 titles, richly illustrated in traditional style, for ages 3-93. Now back in print from the author/illustrator's (John Patience) own imprint, Talewater Press, this new edition, published in 2019, contains the same story and illustrations as the original version.
Brock is not normally an adventurous sort of badger but when he finds a hot air balloon he just has to try it out. Flying high in the sky is fun at first but there is trouble ahead, trouble and lots of it!
Brock Gruffy bustled around his little shop, puffing on his pipe like an old steam engine. He was trying to tidy the place up, but it was in such a terrible clutter that it was an almost impossible task. Brock was soon distracted from the job when he came across an enormous cardboard box which he couldn’t remember having seen before.
"What’s this?" he muttered, adjusting his spectacles to read the label.
"HOT AIR BALLOON"
“How exciting!”
The charming Fern Hollow stories have remained popular since they were first published in 1980.
