Nicola Bayley's stunning illustrations perfectly complement this classic rhyming tale by Richard Adams, author of Watership Down.
A gentleman tyger and his son set sail from Victorian England into the timeless unknown. Together they roam across the seas, through jungles, past ice-covered mountains and erupting volcanoes and many more unexpected hazards along the way.
