Three stories in one book! How great is that!
The first story, ÔA Towing Path TaleÕ is about a boy, Bert Smith whose best friend is Princess, a horse. Princess rescues Bert from dangerous situations: BUT is she real?
Another story about Bert. ÔDifferent Sorts of LessonsÕ is about a strict authoritarian school and Bert, whoÕs not used to this, is not likely to put up with it! A dangerous situation gains him a friend.
ÔOne ChristmasÕ A Christmas Eve stroll through Brentford and Bert is lost. He values his warm coat and is set upon by thieves determined to steal it, but a friend from the past intervenes.
Occasionally local dialect has been used to add authenticity to the story.
