Items related to Mister Cleghorn’s Seal
An exquisite new story to delight readers young and old, from a much-loved writer and illustrator.
Deluxe slipcased collector’s edition, featuring a beautifully illustrated hardback book and a stunning print by Judith Kerr.
What do you do if you find an abandoned seal pup on a rock in the middle of the sea? Well, take it home with you to your flat, of course.
At least that’s what Mr Albert Cleghorn thought, though perhaps he hadn’t considered all the complications...
This is the story of what then happened to Mr Cleghorn and Charlie the seal in their determination to find a home for Charlie and, incidentally, happiness for them both.
Sometimes funny, sometimes sad, Mister Cleghorn’s Seal is a classic in the making from the inimitable Judith Kerr.
