How would you feel if you found you were lost on a riverbank in Dwarf City?

Would you expect to find yourself captured by a dark witch, in a charming tale of good against evil?

And would you anticipate transportation into another world, where you are chased by a Wizard in an exciting adventure around the UK Canal system?

Magic and mystery, friendship and history, this is a charming tale of good against evil.

The backdrop of the old canal intertwined with real-life characters and boats gives the story an imaginative edge which will inspire readers to visit the Inland Waterways for themselves.

Appealing to all age groups, you will be taken from humour to sadness, fantasy to reality and into another world (or maybe two).

A humorous and light-hearted insight into canal life at its best, this book will draw you into the world of the mysterious and sometimes dark liquid highway. It will see you laughing, but often from the edges of your seat.

Written in over 1600 verses of lilting rhyme, if you already enjoy the good v evil of Tolkien''s "The Hobbit", the lilt of Julia Donaldson''s "The Gruffalo" or the classic tales of "Rupert The Bear", then you will love Perriwillow.
