Children's Book of the Year - The Sunday Times; Children's Book of
the Week in both the Times and Guardian. The Misadventures of
Frederick is a funny, joyful story about friendship and the
delights of outdoor adventures (even for the accident-prone) -
wonderfully written by the talented Ben Manley and beautifully
illustrated by Emma Chichester Clark, creator of Plumdog and Blue
Kangaroo. In a mansion surrounded by lakes and forests, Frederick
is bored. He leads a very sheltered life: and when Emily invites
him to play outside he has no choice but to refuse - what if he
hurts himself? Much better to stay safely indoors. But Emily is not
one to take no for an answer . . . A series of brilliantly funny
and evocative letters between Frederick and Emily tell this unique
story which weaves together the colourful, adventurous world of
Emily with Frederick's drab life of boredom and safety.
