3 Children's Stories
Three dotty, entertaining short adventures from author Irvine Hunt. Bertie and Little Miss Muffin WITHOUT really knowing why he did it, Bertie decided to become invisible and somehow it seemed to work. Before he knew it he met tiny Mis Muffin in a secret hideout and soon the two of them plunge into adventure, being whisked away by daring robbers. Magic Fair THE noisy fair seemed to have sprung up from nowhere and Jake found himself trapped in the middle of it. Grasping hands tried to seize him as he struggled to find a narrow brick passage and reach the safety of a street. But was the street really safe? Trouble Makers NINE troublesome moggies patrolled the sleeping house. For once they were not up to mischief and trying to raid the pantry, or walking on the kitchen table looking for crumbs. All nine were meowing in alarm. "Wake up! Wake up!", they cried. "Danger! There's danger!" And there was.
Manlaff & Toewoman: Anew
Manlaff and Toewoman were greatly startled the day they first emerged from their cave in 1974 and discovered they had landed in the Future. The Stone Age couple are still trying in this updated version to decide whether a wheel should be called a wheel, or whether to call it a brick; and what happens when you decide to plant your grandmother. New tales have replaced some of the originals. Others have disappeared. The 1974 edition became an LP, was rewritten as a play and staged in the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, and in Balliol College, Oxford University and elsewhere.

The Drovers Boy
Young Henry Hodgkin is pushed out of his home by his stepfather and sent to walk 600 geese to market with Torse, a cantankerous Irish Drover. It is Cumberland of a century ago, the roads rough and dangerous, the journey days long. Man and boy clash. Torse is short-tempered and mean, Henry stubborn. Yet despite warnings that Torse is not to be trusted a bond develops. As they beg their way from door to door selling geese at farms and cottage, Henry learns to face up to his hopes and fears. When the journey ends will there be any going back?
A Young Man Afoot
ALL SPAIN lay beyond the mountain chain . . . and all Portugal. It was the 1960s and Irvine Hunt walked down out of the Pyrenees, a pack over his shoulder, and for months fell in with a passing parade of roadmen and peasants, doctors and cobblers, would-be robbers, mules, donkeys, a lady clad mostly in sequins, hard-up travellers, and the adventurous young, travelling as best they may, wanting to see what lay ahead.
