"A heart-warming festive adventure for London’s handsomest fox"
Julia Eccleshare's Pick of the Month November 2022
Best loved Gaspard the Fox is back for another heart-warming and magical adventure.
Out on a bitterly cold and snowy night around Christmas, Gaspard comes across an old man with a white beard who is trying to keep warm while lying on the street with only an old coat around him. Immediately seeing that he needs help, Gaspard first snuggles up to the old man to give him warmth and then summons his friends Finty the dog and Peter the cat to get help. The clever animals quickly get their people involved and soon the old man is restored to health and safety inside a local church.
Gaspard, Finty and Peter all get a small reward but their real reward is knowing that they have saved a life by their quick thinking and their kindness. The clear message about supporting those who are less fortunate is reinforced by donations from sales of the book going to the St-Martins-in-the-Fields homeless charity.
