Constance in Peril is a brilliantly funny story from the creators
of the critically acclaimed The Misadventures of Frederick, a
Sunday Times Children's Book of the Year. Told with all Ben
Manley's characteristic wit and genius for comic timing, with
beautiful, atmospheric illustrations by Emma Chichester Clark
adding to the fun. Edward's favourite toy was a soft, old, cloth
doll. Her name was Constance Hardpenny and she had led a tragic
life. Having been rescued from a rubbish bin by a boy called
Edward, Constance suffers a series of potentially catastrophic
incidents. More suited to elegant tea parties in a bygone age, she
nevertheless remains stoic throughout. From being forgotten and
left out in the rain or trapped up a tree, even being caught
between the jaws of the neighbour's dog, Constance is constantly
finding herself in mortal danger. Although she's luckily rescued
each time by the watchful Grace, Edward's loving older sister, it
seems disaster is never far behind. Is Constance doomed to suffer a
life of never-ending peril? Probably.
