Eric the Snail and the Ball Behind the Butt

£24.50

On a Saturday morning in September, a small boy kicks his brand-new football a very long way, and it vanishes.

The grown-ups have given up looking. But Eric the Snail and Wally the Worm saw exactly where it went, and they have one small, bright idea.

These stories began as tales told by Trevor H. Field to his son and daughter. Three decades later, Eric the Snail and his friends are ready to be shared once more.

A picture book, 21cm square, as a softback or a hardback.

Please note: for now these books are printed on demand, one at a time, which is why the price is higher than we would like. Once we can afford a full print run, the prices will come down.
