Arabel and her notorious pet raven Mortimer make a welcome return to Penguin Random House Children's Books When Arabel's father, Ebenezer Jones, drives his taxi home late one night he comes across 'a large black bird, with a hairy fringe around its beak.' He takes it home and, from that moment on, life is never the same again for the Jones family. Arabel's raven is called Mortimer - and he's one in a million. 'Nevermore!' he cries when astonished or upset, 'Down the hatch' he thinks before gobbling bowler hats, stairs, telephones. He dislikes flying except in emergencies, and with disaster-prone Mortimer around there are plenty of those. There are 7 hilarious escapades in this collection, brought to life by Quentin Blake's wonderfully animated illustrations: THE MYSTERY OF MR JONES'S DISAPPEARING TAXI; MORTIMER'S PORTRAIT ON GLASS; MORTIMER'S CROSS; MORTIMER SAYS NOTHING; A CALL FROM THE JONESES; MR JONES'S REST CURE and ARABEL'S BIRTHDAY.

Joan Aiken was a prolific and well-regarded children's author for over 30 years and was awarded an OBE for services to children's literature. The delightfully humorous Arabel and Mortimer stories were very popular when they were first published and a BBC puppet comedy-drama for children, based on the books was on TV in the 1980's. The re-publishing of these book, superbly illustrated by Quentin Blake, will ensure a new generation of children can enjoy the madcap adventures. This is a book the whole family can enjoy as a read-aloud or could be read by on their own by children aged 8 and up. ( )
