Arthur and the Yeti

I’m Arthur and I’m seven, and last Saturday, at my grandparents’ house, we all got a bit of a fright. The night before, the neighbour heard strange noises coming from her garden and she saw two big, black eyes staring at her. There was only one thing for it: Grandma phoned Cousin Eugene. Before we knew it, the whole world had come to see the Yeti of Picket Lake.

Arthur is a seven-year-old boy who is brilliant at being a seven-year-old-boy. When Arthur visits his grandparents’ house by the lake, more often than not, he becomes entangled in a new adventure, which he must solve with the help of his pet duck and useless dog – and hopefully without too much help from eccentric Cousin Eugene.

These are witty stories full of understated humour and populated by quirky yet recognisable characters, and narrated by Arthur who has the rational worldview that comes exclusively from being seven-years-old.
