Eric the Snail and the Shadow in the Sea

£19.50

Eric the Snail and Wally the Worm are off on a seaside holiday, riding the old bus all the way to the shore.

But when Eric’s satchel slips away and a great shadow glides beneath their leaf boat, fear turns the sea into something it may not be.

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.
