Poppy and Lilly love to visit their grandparents. And their grandparents love to take Poppy and Lilly to visit their best loved lake.
They love to look at the lake, to see the beautiful surroundings and the wildlife and to feed all the birds who live there.
But the lake is home to a secret. A secret that is so important that Maria, who is Queen of the Swans, must guard against it.
There's an island at the very middle of the lake. And on that island lives the Hippocrocohog. It's nasty tempered, it has hard skin and is the owner of 100 slave rats!
His aim is to entrap anyone he can grab hold of! Can Mariah,Queen of the Swans, Grey the Squirrel and the grandparents of Poppy and Lilly keep them safe?
But is the Hippocrocohog all bad? And what happens after granddad and grandmother confront him?
This is a fantastical story told in wonderful rhyming couplets illustrated with some very colourful and splendid drawings provided bu Alice Samways.
It's published by Matador at £8.99 and will make a super Christmas gift which young children and adults will all enjoy reading together.
