Description

A classic from beloved author Eva Ibbotson – now with
an updated cover from celebrated illustrator, Jamie Littler.

How do you smuggle a family of yetis from Tibet to
England?

When Agatha Farlingham is kidnapped by a yeti on a mountain in
Tibet, she soon discovers that the hairy monster is clever and noble.

His children are in danger from the modern world and he needs
her help. She sends them on a top-secret journey to England and the
safety of her ancestral home.

But first she must teach them some manners. . .

A rollicking adventure from the extraordinary imagination of
one of Britain’s most beloved storytellers.

This early Iva Ibbottson novel, never submitted for publication,
contains all the trademark qualities that made
Eva’s subsequent books so successful; comedy, loveable and eccentric
characters, perfectly-crafted plotting, and inspiring themes
of tolerance, kindness to animals, and the defeat of cruelty.

REVIEWS

“Ibbotson is one of the greatest children’s writers of our
time” The Times

“A classic” The Daily Mail

“A hugely enjoyable and witty rollick” Mal Peet,
Guardian
